What guacamole and salsa should I use?  While you can totally use store-bought if you’re low on time, we’re partial to our guacamole recipe. It takes less than 10 minutes and 5 ingredients to create our fav homemade guac, and we promise — it takes this already great dip up a notch.  If you really want to get fancy, try making your salsa from scratch too! P.S. You can always make extra, and serve it as an extra dip alongside your 7-layer masterpiece. 🙌 Do I serve this hot or cold? The layers of sour cream and guac in this dip make it best served cold. If you’re looking for a hot dip, check out our Refried Bean Dip, Jalapeño Popper Dip or Black Bean Dip for cheesy, warming dips to dunk into.   What do I do with leftovers? Though we think this dip is best consumed in the first 24 hours, leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Hungry for more?
