Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and prepare a medium-sized serving dish or shallow platter (approximately 9x9 inches).

3. In a small bowl, smooth out the light sour cream with a spoon, then carefully spread it on top of the refried beans as the second layer.
4. Next, evenly spoon and spread the salsa over the sour cream to create the third layer.
5. Add guacamole as the fourth layer, spreading it gently with a spoon to cover the salsa layer.
6. Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the guacamole for the fifth layer.
7. For the sixth layer, evenly spread the finely shredded lettuce over the cheese layer.
8. Finally, top with diced tomatoes, black olives (if using), and chopped fresh cilantro as the seventh layer.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the layers settle.
10. Serve the dip with baked tortilla chips or fresh vegetable crudités for dipping. Enjoy!
