Yummy dip

Here is a really easy summertime dip that I enjoy. You can make it a little spicy if you want, or add some chicken to it and make it a meal.

Southwestern 7 layer salad
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup thick and chunky salsa
1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans
1 green pepper, finely diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, with tops
1 package (16 oz) lettuce salad mix
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
(chips; can also add cooked chicken for heartier meal)

Combine sour cream and salsa in a bowl, set aside.Layer: beans, pepper, lettuce, tomato, and green onions. Spoon sour cream mixture over top of layers, then grate cheese on top.

The best part about this dip? The salsa/sour cream mixture. It turns pink. It never fails, that the guys will be the ones to ask you about it, and give you the one-eyebrow raised look (the select few can do that move. I can.) to see what you are serving them.
