7 Layer Flag Dip for 4th of July
If you’re headed to an Independence Day party, this dip is an easy recipe to bring that will get noticed. It resembles the American flag with red tomato stripes, white sour-cream stripes, and a blue chip square with cheese “stars.” Guests always ask how you made it—and it tastes as good as it looks.
Making Your Flag Dip
- Start by layering classic 7-layer dip components: seasoned refried beans, salsa, olives, shredded lettuce and shredded cheese.
- Next, prepare the decorative flag elements: a cream cheese/sour cream mixture for the white stripes and diced tomatoes for the red stripes.
- The blue canton of the flag is created by crushing blue corn tortilla chips into a square. Small rounds cut from provolone (or a similar cheese) serve as the stars.
- To cut the tiny cheese circles, an upside-down small icing tip works great as a mini cookie cutter.
- This dip is easy to assemble, makes a festive statement, and is ideal to take to any July 4th celebration.

- Black Olives
- 1 Jar Salsa
- 1 Large Tomato, chopped
