Greek Seven Layer Dip

Seven Layer Dip gets a fresh summertime make-over. Or make it with eight layers (pictured above) if you want to really get fancy.

This is a great way to dress up plain hummus. Similar to the traditional Mexican 7-Layer Dip, but lighter and with fresher ingredients. With the huge variety of hummus available these days, you can adapt this recipe to suit your taste. My favorite hummus (after homemade) is the Supremely Spicy Hummus: it has a real kick!

Start with layers of hummus and tzatziki, and then add whatever fresh ingredients you are in the mood for. I usually include most or all of the following layers:

• • Hummus
  • Tzatziki (Homemade recipe HERE)
  • Thinly sliced mini cucumbers
  • Sliced Kalamata olives
  • Chopped artichokes
  • Sliced sun-dried tomatoes (or use fresh tomatoes)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Feta cheese, crumbled

Serve with pita chips, crackers, fresh-cut vegetables, or wedges of homemade Pita Bread. (Pita Bread recipe HERE)
