Layered Greek Hummus Dip

This easy layered dip makes a highly flavorful appetizer with pita or veggies – or a delicious add-on to grilled kebobs or falafel. Jam-packed with Mediterranean flavors and colors, it’s always a hit!

Suggested pairing: A glass of chilled white wine – in this case we chose our Viognier/Roussanne blend Freyja

This is a super easy and flexible recipe. Feel free to substitute or leave out pretty much anything you wish and adjust amounts to what you have on-hand or to your tastes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 c hummus, scratch made or store bought
  • 3/4 c tzatziki, scratch made or store bought
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 c or 1 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 c tomatoes – coarsely chopped (we used a multicolor blend of cherry tomatoes) and left to rest on paper towels to collect juices
  • 1/4 -1/3 c red onion, diced or sliced
  • 1/2 – 1c Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 – 3/4 c Kalamata olives, quartered lengthwise
  • 1/2 c toasted, salted pine nuts
  • An avenue for getting the dip into your mouth. We suggest: Pita bread (we grilled ours and sliced into 6 wedges), pita chips (we do not recommend a flavored chip since this dip has so much flavor), or crudité.

Instructions:

  1. Spread hummus in a layer across the bottom of a platter or shallow serving dish.
  2. Spread tzatziki over hummus. Drizzle olive olive over the top of both.
  3. Layer the following:
    1. Cucumber
    2. Tomatoes
    3. Feta
    4. Red onion
    5. Kalamata olives
    6. Pine nuts
  4. Serve with dip vessel of choice.
  5. Pour a glass of wine if you haven’t already – and enjoy!
