Healthy Layered Mexican Dip
Christmas Parties have Started and taking Friendly Nibbles help me stay on track during the Silly Season. This dip is Amazing Delicious & Low Fat. It also looks kinda Christmassy with the colours ? The ENTIRE dip is 10 Weight Watchers Smart Points and no one would even know it’s a WW friendly one.

Notes
The reason I’ve chosen a deeper dish is simply so I can serve with long sticks of celery, cucumber & carrot, keeping it a healthier option rather than crackers or pita chips but by all means, add them in for others.
You can always serve this dip in a shallower dish.
If the beans are too dry when blitzing, add a splash of water
