Description
A festive and creamy Halloween Taco Dip perfect for parties, featuring layers of smooth black bean puree, salsa, guacamole, and a decorative spider web made from sour cream and black olives.
Ingredients
Scale
Bean Layer
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Salsa Layer
- 3/4 cup mild chunky salsa
Guacamole Layer
- Guacamole (amount as desired)
Decoration
- 1/4 cup sour cream (for spider web)
- 2-3 black olives (for spiders)
Instructions
- Prepare Bean Puree: Place the black beans, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and salt into a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth or to your desired consistency, creating a creamy bean layer for the dip.
- Assemble Layers: Spread the black bean mixture evenly on the bottom of a pie plate. Add a thin layer of mild chunky salsa over the bean layer, followed by a layer of guacamole on top.
- Prepare Sour Cream for Piping: If the sour cream is thick, add a little water to thin it slightly. Transfer it into a small plastic zip bag, squeeze the contents to one corner, and twist the bag like a pastry bag. Carefully cut off a small tip (1/8 to 1/4 inch) from the corner of the bag for piping.
- Create Spider Web Design: Use the sour cream-filled bag to pipe a spider web pattern onto the top of the dip, starting from the center and working outward to create concentric circles or lines typical of a spider web.
- Add Olive Spiders: Slice one black olive into thin strips to form “legs” and use whole or halved black olives as spider bodies. Place these olive spiders strategically on the web design as garnish for a spooky Halloween effect.
Notes
- Adjust the thickness of the sour cream with water for easier piping.
- Use mild salsa to keep flavors balanced and kid-friendly.
- Feel free to substitute guacamole with fresh avocado mashed with lime and salt.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving to keep fresh.
- This dip pairs well with tortilla chips or sliced veggies.
