Greek Layered Dip

Greek Layered Dip – a fresh Greek twist on the classic 7 layer dip. Easy, make ahead with hummus, tzatziki, tomatoes, crisp cucumber, briny kalamata olives, feta and dill.

I’ve made this delicious dip so many times and the combination of flavors of the Mediterranean make it a consistent hit.

It’s an easy recipe you can make ahead of time and when guests arrive serve with some warm pita bread.

Why this recipe works:

• Easy, make ahead appetizer.
• Add a protein – grilled chicken or shrimp – and dinner is served.
• Healthy, packed with protein but feels decadent.

Ingredients in Greek Layered Dip:

1. Hummus (store bought OR homemade with canned garbanzo beans)
2. Tzatziki (my homemade Tzatziki recipe OR buy one of the good quality ones at the store)
3. Grape Tomatoes quartered
4. Finely diced cucumber
5. Kalamata olives sliced
6. Crumbled Feta cheese
7. Fresh dill

How to assemble Greek Layered Dip:

On a plate or shallow pan (such as a pie plate), spread a layer of hummus then add tzatziki on top of the hummus.

Dab the diced tomatoes and finely chopped cucumber with paper towels to remove any excess moisture then scatter them over the tzatziki. Top with sliced Kalamata olives, crumbed Feta and finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 15 minutes up to overnight.
