You probably guessed that this dip is inspired by classic Tex-Mex seven layer dip. There's no doubt that I love a good Mexican dip (hello, poblano skillet queso and caramelized onion guacamole!) But I also adore Greek food, so I figured a Mediterranean twist on seven layer dip would be divine. Grab a bag of pita chips and get dipping!

Why You'll Love Greek Seven Layer Dip

This dip is fresh, healthy, and still has ALL the delicious layers! It starts with hummus as the base (I like to whip up my own roasted garlic hummus), which gets topped with homemade Greek yogurt dill sauce (similar to tzatziki but much easier), plenty of fresh veggies, salty olives and feta cheese, and a sprinkling of fresh herbs. All tasty components, but when combined, are MAGIC. Served with warm pita wedges, pita chips, fresh veggies, or any other vehicle for dipping that you can imagine, this dip is both good for you and delicious! It's perfect as a game day snack or appetizer to share.

The Ingredients

Hummus - homemade or store-bought, either is great! I like roasted red pepper or roasted garlic the best.
Greek yogurt - For making a creamy, herby layer. Use whole milk Greek yogurt for the thickest results (and to avoid weepy dip).
Lemon
Dill - Fresh is best, plus you'll need more for sprinkling on top.
Cucumber - I like English cucumbers (also called hothouse) because they're less bitter and less watery. If you use a regular cucumber, you may want to scoop out the seeds since they release a lot of moisture.
Tomato
Olives - Kalamata if you like them, or plain black olives if you're like me and don't care for Kalamatas.
Feta - Pre-crumbled is easiest.
Fresh herbs - I use fresh parsley and dill for topping.
Anything you like for dipping such as warmed pita bread, pita chips, or cut fresh veggies.

How To Make It

Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and dill for the yogurt layer. Set aside.
Spread the hummus in the bottom of a serving dish.

Can This Dip Be Made In Advance?

I don't recommend making this dip too far in advance since the yogurt and/or cucumbers could get watery, but a few hours ahead of serving is just fine! Store it in the refrigerator, covered, until you're ready to serve.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings 1x
Category: appetizer
Method: no bake
Cuisine: Greek

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup hummus (I like roasted garlic or roasted red pepper flavors)
1 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 medium tomato, diced
½ large cucumber, diced (about 1 cup)
¼ cup black or kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup fresh herbs (I used parsley and dill), chopped, for topping

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, lemon juice, and dill.
Spread hummus in the bottom of a square 8 inch or similar sized serving dish.
Spread yogurt mixture evenly over hummus.
Layer cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta, and chopped herbs over yogurt mixture.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Dip can be made a few hours in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
To avoid watery dip, use whole milk Greek yogurt and English (or hothouse) cucumbers. If you're using regular cucumber, you may wish to scoop the seeds out and discard them, since the seed portion tends to get watery.
If you already have prepared tzatziki sauce, you can use it in place of making the yogurt sauce.
