Chips and salsa; french fries and ketchup; veggies and ranch... everyone loves to dip! Here’s a fun 7-layer dip that you and an adult can make. Imagine how much fun it will be when everyone sees this beautiful, delicious dip—and then they learn that you made it!
The best way to get ready to make this dip is to lay out everything you’ll need. Put the different ingredients in small bowls so that you can grab them and use them, just like they do on the TV cooking shows.
Note to adults: If you want to streamline this event, you can provide ready-prepared guacamole dip, and you can pre-chop the tomatoes. If you’re uncertain about your child using a can opener, you can also pre-open the can of black olives.
