by

This Greek Layered Dip has layers of hummus, tzaziki, feta cheese, kalamata olives, diced tomatoes and green onions. Dip in a pita chip and enjoy!

A DELICIOUSLY DIFFERENT DIP!
I took inspiration from my favorite flavors and decided to make a Greek-inspired dip. This is similar to those popular seven layer dips except this has yummy Mediterranean flavors like tzatziki (which is just Greek yogurt with cucumbers and seasonings), Kalamata olives and tangy Feta cheese.

prepared Greek Layered Dip in a clear glass pie pan.

I loved this with the feta cheese that have Mediterranean herbs added but that is completely optional if you can’t find it.
Use your favorite flavor of hummus.
This dish can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a day.
