Greek Layer Dip Recipe With Hummus Easy Appetizer Wellplated Com

While the classic Mexican 7-Layer Taco Dip will forever have a special place in my heart (and stomach), I’m completely hooked on this fresh Greek twist. Made with layers of hummus, Greek yogurt, Mediterranean-inspired veggies, feta, and Kalamata olives, it contains all the building blocks of a perfect party dip (ditto for this Mexican Corn Dip):

Salty and tangyCreamy and crunchyTotally habit-forming.

Plus, the fact that it can be whipped up in under 20 minutes means you can grab a bag of pita chips and settle in for a serious munch session whenever a craving for this creamy (but healthy) Greek layer dip strikes.

How to Make Greek Layer Dip

Beyond its can’t-stop-eating-it taste and texture, I love this Greek hummus layer dip, because it’s super healthy without tasting like a “skinny” dip (why I also love this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip). The ingredients are simple and wholesome, which is helpful to remind yourself when this dish is half demolished, and you’re the only person in the room.

The Ingredients

Hummus. Serves as the base layer for the dip that’s not only delicious but loaded with plant-based protein. Choose your favorite flavor (but maybe save the Chocolate Hummus for dessert)! Pine nut, classic, or roasted garlic are my go-tos.Plain Greek Yogurt. Adds creaminess and tang to the dip, while being packed with protein. Tomato and Cucumber. A classic Mediterranean pairing that adds bold color and fresh flavor.

Feta Cheese. A little creamy, a little salty, a lotta bit delicious. Parsley. The perfect finishing touch of green that brings a hint herbaceous flair to the final dip.

Kalamata Olives. No Greek layer dip would be complete with Kalamata olives sprinkled into every bite. (Non-olive fans, you can omit them if you must.)
