Basketball Party Dip

This super-simple recipe is infinitely flexible.

It's kind of like a Mexican 7-layer dip, then shaped like a basketball!

The exact ingredients and amounts are up to you, depending on what you like and how large your serving platter is.

Start by spreading Mexican bean dip or seasoned refried beans on a round platter. Next, I added a layer of guacamole.

Once you’re done building your layers, sprinkle your entire dip with finely shredded cheddar cheese.

The final flourish that truly turns this dip into a basketball is topping it with little lines of very finely minced black olives.

Be sure to buy the canned Mexican- or pizza-style black olives. You don’t want Kalamatas for Mexican dip.
