Seven Layer Dip with Endive

Seven Layer Dip with Endive

An appetizer that is both visually appetizing and flavorful, sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Quick to make, loaded with vegetables, and uses endive scoops around the outside edges. You can provide a bowl of corn chips for scooping, or use more prefilled endive leaves.

When I made this I used both a 12″ platter and 8″ platter. Below you will find the directions for the larger serving platter, I duplicated the layers on the 8″ platter without leaving a border. I used the 8″ platter as the filling material for the endive leaves, which I positioned around the outside.

  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 Tbsp chopped seeded jalapeno peppers
  • 1 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 of a medium avocado (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 8 oz jar (1 cup chunky salsa, drained)
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chopped black olives
  • 3 or more endive – depending on preference and platter layout
  1. Line a 12 inch platter with shredded lettuce.
  2. Stir together black beans, chopped red pepper, green onion, and jalapeno (I pulse all but the beans in a food processor, the add the beans and pulse 3 or 4 times) Spread this mix over the shredded lettuce, leaving a 3.5 in. border around the outside, this allows room for the endive.
  3. Spread sour cream over bean layer, leaving a border.
  4. Mix chopped avocado, drained salsa, and lime zest and spread over sour cream, leaving a border.
  5. At this point place your filled endive leaves around the outside in a spoke like fashion, using the tip of a butter knife, lift the dip layers to slide each leaf end under the center dip spread, continue around until the outer circle is full.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the whole platter.
  7. Sprinkle chopped black olives
  8. Chill platter and serve..
