Paleo Vegan Seven Layer Dip

January 30, 2017 by Rachel Carr Leave a Comment

At your next party, bring this lovely layered vegan seven layer dip to make yourself the hit of the party! Everything is grain free, sugar free, bean free (even the frijoles) and mostly raw.

Each layer is also yummy on its own and would make a great addition to a salad, wrap or as dip on their own.

I especially love the frijoles, which are made from sunflower seeds and simply seasoned with cumin, cayenne and lime. They’re smooth as beans when blended, but much easier to digest!

Paleo Vegan Seven Layer Dip is a healthy option for your next party! Mostly raw and completely bean free, this dip is delicious enough to be a meal on it's own!
