If there is one thing that I can’t get my mind of off this week, it is this Greek Layer Dip!  Guys!  I was craving it, I made it and I ate almost the whole thing MYSELF!  Then I just keep thinking about it, so I think it will be making another appearance at party we are going to this weekend. I also might included my mini pigs in a blanket.

I love that not only is this so crazy delicious but it also much lighter than most party dips and full of wholesome, good for you stuff like hummus, tomatoes, and cucumbers.  The little drizzle of spices and olive oil at the end brings everything together. And even with the veggies, the kids still love it!

Recipe Notes

This Layered Greek Dip recipe is as simple as promised! Just a few tasty ingredients and no cooking required! 

In this section I am going to go through a few tips and tricks I use for how to make chopped grinder pasta salad to get the absolute best and most delicious results.

Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the FULL recipe card.

Ingredients + Substitutions

Ingredients needs for the Greek Layer Dip - hummus, tzatziki, greek seasoning, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, olives and pepperoncini's
  • Prepared hummus– I use a 10 oz container of store bought hummus.  You will want to find the regular, or original flavor so that you don’t have too many competing seasonings going on in the dip.
  • Prepared tzatziki– You can also find tzatziki dip near the hummus in most grocery stores.  They are also usually in 10 oz containers and I used about half of the container. If you can’t find it in the store, or just prefer homemade, it is super easy to make at home.  Try this recipe for homemade tzatziki here.
  • Roma tomatoes, chopped- Since this is a dip, I like to chop these  pretty small, around 1/4″ pieces.  To chop quickly, use a sharp serrated knife to cut off one end of the tomato to make it flat, then turn the tomato over (flat side downand cut both ways (like making a grid) then turn the tomato on its side and cut through to chop.  This method makes chopping tomatoes much quicker and easier, just make sure to use a serrated knife so it cuts easily.
  • Cucumber, chopped- Chop the cucumber in roughly equal size to the tomato.
  • Peperonchini peppers, sliced- These are usually near the olives or in the ethnic food section of the grocery store. You can sometimes find them already sliced but if not, just buy the whole ones and it only takes a minute or two to slice the amount you will need for this recipe.
  • Kalamata olives, sliced- I actually just halved mine since I don’t love olives, so that makes it easy to eat around, but to make it a bit more bite sized you could chop or slice them.
  • Green onions, chopped- You will also want to chop these pretty small so you don’t get any overwhelming onion flavor in there. When they are small they really perfectly enhance all the other flavors going on!
  • Feta cheese crumbled- You can use a block or pre-crumbled feta cheese for this.  I also sometimes add more since I really love the feta flavor throughout.  Also, feel free to use low fat feta in this recipe.  It still has good flavor and works well so it is an easy way to save a few calories if you want.
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Greek seasoning- I either use Cavenders Greek Seasoning or this homemade Greek Seasoning. You can usually find Cavenders at most grocery stores on the seasoning aisle.  It is in a yellow bottle with red and black writing or you can have it to your door in a couple of days from Amazon.

Recipe Step by Step

How to make Layered Greek Dip Step 1: Spread on hummus and tzatiki.

On a mostly flat platter or plate, spread the entire container of hummus out in a thin layer. It will probably be about 1/2″ thick once spread. Then repeat with tzatziki.

How to make Layered Greek Dip Step 2: add cucumber and tomato.

Next layer on the tomatoes, cucumbers, peperoncini peppers. With all of these you can use more, less, or omit based on your taste preferences.

How to make Layered Greek Dip Step 3: Top with pepperoncini peppers.

Mix the olive oil and seasoning together then drizzle over the top of the dip letting it drip down the sides and settle on the hummus.

How to make Layered Greek Dip Step 4: add feta and olives and drizzle with olive oil.

Finish with olives, green onions, and feta cheese leaving a small border on each layer.

Chill for up to 3 hours. Serve with pita chips, pita bread triangles, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, etc. ENJOY!

How to Serve Greek Layer Dip

Now let’s talk about this presentation people… All humility aside, isn’t it super impressive?  It looks so fancy but in reality, this whole set up can be thrown together in probably 20 minutes, including making the dip.  I promise and I will walk you through it step by step so you can create something just as swoon-worthy just as quickly.

Greek layer dip served as an appetizer on a platter with pita chips and vegetables.

To start, you will want to make this dip on a nearly flat platter.  If you don’t have a platter, no need to go out and buy one, you can just use a large plate to get the same effect.  Follow the recipe below to make the dip which will be your centerpiece.

Next you need some sort of fairly large board to set this all up on.  I got mine in the picture on my trip to Magnolia market this summer which was so much fun.  If you aren’t right around the corner from Waco, though, which I assume most of you aren’t you can just garb a big piece of raw unfinished wood from the hardware store, then clean it up, or if you just want to use what you have around the house, try using your biggest cookie sheet.

Place the dip platter in the middle, then grab some, or all of the following to layer around your board:

  • Cucumber slices
  • Pita chips
  • Pita bread triangles
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Olives
  • Peperoncinis
  • Zucchini or yellow squash slices
  • Bell pepper strips
  • Mini sweet peppers

You can either lay them straight on the board, group some of them in small bowls like I did here, or lay down parchment paper and put it on there.  Once you place everything around the dip, use fresh herbs like oregano or thyme to garnish it and pull the whole look together.

There it is!  Quick, easy, beautiful and surprisingly delicious!

    This is the second time I’ve make this dip, first time was a big hit. I added pine nuts for just a little extra crunch. Outstanding recipe!

    I had some marinated artichoke hearts in the fridge so I chopped those up and added them to the veggies. So good!

    I did not make the recipe as of yet, but I will very soon. It was brought to a gathering I hosted and I could not keep myself away from this delicious recipe. I think I ate half of it and tried keeping others from eating it. I wanted it all for myself!!!

    Loved this dip. Felt very healthy to eat. I did swap out the scallion for red onion – felt more Greek salad to me. We served with veggies and Naan pieces.
