Layered Greek Dip

This Greek Dip is a fresh Mediterranean twist on the classic 7-layer dip - easy to make, packed with flavor, and a total crowd-pleaser. Think creamy whipped cream cheese, garlicky hummus, briny Kalamata olives, juicy cucumbers, and salty feta all layered into one irresistible scoop.

This Layered Greek Dip is the kind of appetizer that earns you recipe requests at every potluck and disappears faster than you can say "pass the pita chips." No surprise it's one of the most popular recipes on our site: a no-cook, make-ahead layered dip that looks impressive but comes together in minutes.

Over the years, we've refined this reader favorite based on your feedback (hello, whipped cream cheese!) to make it even easier to prep and even more scoopable. The result? Thousands of Pinterest saves and hundreds of 5-star ratings.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Our Greek dip has - you guessed it - SEVEN layers of goodness made from the Mediterranean-inspired ingredients.

• Whipped cream cheese: A lighter, scoopable layer that stays soft even when cold (reader-approved!). You can buy it whipped or whip your own.
• Fresh lemon + garlic: Brightness that makes this Greek dip irresistible.
• Hummus: Your flavorful base layer. I used a plain hummus in this recipe, but feel free to add your favorite flavored hummus instead.
• Grape tomatoes: The little salad tomatoes are my go-to because I almost always have them on hand. Regular tomatoes work equally well but just be sure to remove as much of the seeds as possible to avoid a watery layer.
• Cucumber, Kalamata olives, green onions: The real Mediterranean vibe.
• Crumbled feta: Because Greek food isn't Greek without feta. And here's a little secret - block feta is usually vacuum packed in brine which keeps it a bit more milky and moist. That little bit of brine also seasons the cheese and imparts extra flavor. Bonus: block feta cheese is usually less expensive than a similar amount of pre-crumbled feta. But hey, no shame in the pre-crumbled game!
• Italian seasoning: This might raise eyebrows in a Greek dip, but trust us, it brings together familiar Mediterranean herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme that pair beautifully with the other flavors. If you prefer, you can use dried oregano or a Greek seasoning blend instead.

Best friend tip: Most 7-layer dips are made in a shallow glass casserole dish so you can easily see the layers. You can definitely do that with this recipe, but I like to go another route. I build this dip pyramid-style on a serving platter - wider base, narrower peak. You can still see each layer individually, but building it this way gives the whole thing a little more wow factor. Again, no right or wrong here. Purely an aesthetic choice.
