Description

Haystack Dip is a vibrant and flavorful vegetarian layered dip that's perfect for gatherings and parties. This easy-to-make recipe combines creamy refried beans, fresh avocado, tangy tomatoes with a hint of Tabasco, olives, and crisp alfalfa sprouts, all topped with cool sour cream. Served with crunchy Doritos, it offers a delightful mix of textures and bold flavors that will satisfy any crowd.

Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 1 large can refried beans

Vegetable Layers

  • Green onions, chopped, to taste
  • 3 avocados, mashed or mixed
  • 1 can pitted black olives, drained and chopped fine
  • 2 tomatoes, blended with a dash of Tabasco sauce

Toppings

  • 1 cup sour cream (or more, to taste)
  • Alfalfa sprouts, for garnish
  • Doritos, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes: Blend the 2 tomatoes together with a dash of Tabasco sauce until smooth to create a spicy, flavorful tomato layer.
  2. Layer the Dip: In a clear serving dish, start by spreading the refried beans evenly as the base layer. Next, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the beans for a mild onion flavor and crunch.
  3. Add the Avocado Layer: Spread the mixed or mashed avocados evenly on top of the green onions, adding creamy texture and richness.
  4. Incorporate Olives: Sprinkle the finely chopped black olives generously over the avocado layer for a salty, savory element.
  5. Add Tomato Layer: Pour and spread the blended tomato and Tabasco mixture evenly over the olives, adding bright color and a touch of heat.
  6. Top with Sour Cream: Spread the sour cream on top to create a smooth, cool contrast to the spices and veggies.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish by scattering alfalfa sprouts over the sour cream layer for added freshness and crunch. Serve immediately with Doritos on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of Tabasco in the tomato blend according to your preferred spice level.
  • This dip can be made a few hours in advance; cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream with a vegan alternative.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or crisp vegetables as alternatives to Doritos.
