Vegan Party Food Recipes for the WIN!
This vegan 7 layer dip recipe has all the staple ingredients of the classic dip: plant based sour cream, chili, salsa beans, cheese, and toppings! But meatless and dairy-free versions replace the original. You won’t miss any flavor with a vegan version of nacho dip. I start by using a vegan sour cream, which I have a recipe for on my site here!
This dip is super versatile – you can add or substitute layers as needed. And you can certainly dip more than just chips into these layers: this dip is great for cut veggies, pretzels, or even veggie sticks.

How Do I Make This Vegan 7 Layer Nacho Dip Recipe?
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and gently saute for about 7 or 8 minutes until veggies completely begin to soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a 8×8 baking dish, begin layering the dip. Spread the vegan sour cream on the bottom of the dish. Add the chili beans next, then the salsa, corn, and the sauteed onions and peppers. Add the cheese, and then finish with toppings of choice! I used olives, jalapenos, and fresh tomato.
- Cover with foil, and bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for another 10 minutes uncovered.
- Serve with chips of choice, and enjoy!
Dietary Modifications
- This recipe is vegan & vegetarian – I use my vegan sour cream recipe here as the base. But if you eat meat and dairy, feel free to add ’em in! You can add real cheese, sour cream, or chili with meat. Go wild.
- This recipe is gluten free – however, make sure to check the beans and salsa before adding. Most should be GF, but make sure to double check the contents to make sure.
