Paleo 7 Layer Dip Recipe

This Paleo 7 Layer Dip is a perfect appetizer that everyone will love!

Shew! It feels SO good to be back to this little space after two weeks off!

OK moving along…with new year’s eve literally tomorrow and the Super Bowl right around the corner I’ve had my mind on appetizers! Traditionally appetizers aren’t healthy and they’re definitely not Paleo so I’ve been having some fun coming up with all sorts of deliciousness. First up: Paleo 7 Layer Dip. There’s about a million different layers you could choose from but mine looks like this:

1. Guacamole
2. Salsa (any kind you like! Pico or cantaloupe salsa would be great but I used a jar of tomatillo I had on hand)
3. Grilled Chicken (you could also do carnitas or ground beef)
4. Shredded Lettuce
5. Olives
6. Cherry Tomatoes
7. Minced Onion + Cilantro

You could even do bell peppers, mango, pineapple, more jalapeños, or just about anything! This version looks pretty much like my burrito bowl at Barberitos.

I served it with some plantain chips that are super quick to whip up and hold up well to dipping. If you eat corn then by all means grab a bag of tortilla chips too. For the plantain chips I simply sliced them on an angle and fried them for about 2-3 minutes per side in a half inch of coconut oil (about 5-6 tablespoons) in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. I did 2 plantains in 3 batches.

As an appetizer for a crowd this recipe will serve about 10-12 good size servings. I used an 8X8 dish. Look out for more appetizers coming your way soon!
