This spooky adaptation of a party favourite will keep hungry pumpkin carvers grinning. Lime juice helps maintain the avocados\' bright colour. Serve with tortilla chips.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) pinto beans or white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 avocados
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 cups salsa
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 2 black olives, halved and pitted

Preparation

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, half of the garlic, the salt and pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beans; cook over medium-low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Using potato masher, mash; let cool.

Meanwhile, cut each avocado in half and pit; using spoon, scoop flesh into bowl. Mash until smooth; stir in mayonnaise, lime juice and remaining garlic.

Spread bean mixture in 8-inch (20 cm) pie plate or serving dish. Spread salsa, then avocado mixture evenly over top. (Make-ahead: Place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.)

Spoon sour cream into plastic bag; cut off 1 corner. Pipe in concentric circles over top. From centre to rim, pull knife through sour cream at even intervals to form web pattern. In centre, place 2 olive halves end to end to form spider body. Cut remaining olive halves into 8 slivers; arrange for legs.
