Servings: 15 servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces of hummus
  • 2 cups guacamole store bought or make your own here
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup pico de gallo store bought or make your own here
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 large black olives

Instructions

  • In a large serving bowl, use all of your hummus to create your first layer on the bottom.  Spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Create your second layer by sprinkling all of your cheese on top of the hummus evenly.
  • Create your third layer by spreading your pico de gallo evenly and gently on top of your cheese.
  • Finish your dip layers by spreading your guacamole on top of the pico evenly and gently.
  • Take 1/4 cup of sour cream and place it into a piping bag. (create your own piping bag by putting your sour cream into a sandwich bag and cutting the tip off of one corner).
  • Start the web by creating a bullseye design.  Pipe a dot of sour cream into the center, then pipe a ring around it, about a 1/2 inch away from the dot.  Create another ring about a 1/2 inch away from the first ring, and continue in this pattern until you've created your bullseye design.
  • Take a toothpick (or grab 3-4 together for a thicker line) and use just the tip(s) to draw lines outward from the center to the end of your bullseye design to create a webbed pattern.
  • To create your spiders, take a large black olive and cut it in half length-wise (hot dog style). Then cut the other half into legs. (you'll need 8 legs per spider!)
  • Assemble your spiders wherever you'd like and enjoy!
  • Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make it dairy-free - to make this recipe dairy-free, swap the sour cream and shredded cheese for non-dairy versions.
  • Customize it - don't like olives? Make bell pepper spiders instead! Don't like hummus? Use cream cheese as the base layer. Truly, this recipe is extremely customizable.
  • Add some spice - combine taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade taco seasoning) with the sour cream to give the dip a little bit of a kick!
