Notes
For a lower-fat option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Ensure vegetables are dry, especially tomatoes, to prevent sogginess.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
Serve with warm tortillas or bread for a more satisfying presentation.
This dip can be prepared a few hours ahead; ingredients stay fresh when layered properly.
