Frequently Asked Questions

Is this seven layer dip gluten free?

Yes! This dip is gluten-free. Be sure to get gluten-free chips or crackers to serve with it or just use vegetables to dip!

How far ahead of time can I make this dip?

This dip should be made only a few hours ahead of when you plan to serve it. I would recommend 4 hours at the max so that the lettuce doesn’t wilt.

Is this dip spicy?

That depends on how much taco seasoning and what heat level of salsa and guacamole you use. If you prefer it not spicy be sure to get the mild version of salsa and guacamole and use taco seasoning. For a spicier dip, get the hot salsa and guacamole and even add some hot sauce!
