Up your appetizer game in a healthy way with this make ahead Layered Greek Dip!
Who doesn’t love a quick and easy appetizer? Check out this twist on the infamous 7-layer dip that often appears at parties and potlucks. Not only is this Layered Greek Dip healthier than that traditional taco dip, but it’s just as addictive. (I think I ate most of the dish the first time I made it!) The briny kalamata olives, juicy cucumbers, salty feta and garlicky hummus remind me of my favorite greek salad. Plus, it’s a breeze to throw together, is gorgeous on the eyes, and it can even be made hours in advance. Love. That.
Serve this dip with homemade toasted pitas or tear open a bag of pita chips from the store. Then sit back and dip to your heart’s content. But watch yourself; the chip-dip-eat motion is habit-forming.
