Greek Hummus Dip

My inspiration for this Greek hummus dip came from my love of 7-layer dip. But I wanted to give it a Mediterranean spin. Thus, I created this easy appetizer or snack for holiday parties, family gatherings, and special occasions throughout the entire year.

I use layers of hummus, a dilly garlic-lemon yogurt sauce, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, fresh herbs, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, feta cheese, green onions, and olive oil for lots of Greek-inspired goodness. When I sever this at parties, everyone asks for the recipe and I never have leftovers, and others can hardly believe it isn’t a store-bought hummus dip.

Ingredients to make Greek Hummus Dip

Here’s everything you need to make this Mediterranean-inspired party dip recipe today:

Salt & pepper

• Original plain or garlic hummus – I mostly use our easy garlic hummus recipe as the base, but a 10-ounce package of purchased hummus from the local grocery store works great
• Plain Greek yogurt – I recommend full-fat or 2% in this recipe 
• Lemon juice – freshly squeezed is best
• High-quality extra virgin olive oil – this organic EVOO is my go-to olive oil for its flavor and quality
• Garlic clove – minced or pressed
• Fresh dill – may sub 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill
• Dried oregano – may sub 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano
• Cucumber – I prefer to use an English cucumber because it has a thinner skin and fewer seeds than other varieties
• Cherry tomatoes
• Roasted red pepper
• Kalamata olives – may sub black olives or any favorite olive varieties
• Feta cheese crumbles
• Green onion
• Fresh dill and/or oregano for garnish
• Salt & pepper

Ingredient Highlight: Olive Oil

I use olive oil more than any other cooking oil because it has a nutritious fat profile and makes so many recipes taste great, especially salad dressings and fresh dips, like this one. So I always have a bottle of Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil in my pantry. It’s certified organic, non-GMO Project verified, and NAOAA (North American Olive Oil Association) certified for quality and purity.

Make It Dairy Free

I typically don’t have any issues digesting dairy products and I tend to opt for grass-fed whey dairy when it’s available. However, I know many people who avoid dairy for health reasons, which is why I tested a dairy-free version of this dip with just a few simple swaps. First, I substitute the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free Greek yogurt such as Kite Hill. Then, I use vegan crumble cheese such as Miyokos Mozzarella or Daiya Shreds. I’ve also omitted the feta cheese altogether, and the dip is still just as tasty.

How To Serve

I love to make this recipe all year, pairing it with everything from grilled salmon kabobs to holiday charcuterie boards. The dipping options are truly endless, but some of my favorite ‘dippers’ include:

• Fresh veggies: cucumber slices, mini-bell peppers, celery sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, zucchini slices, snap peas, jicama, radishes, and cherry tomatoes
• Crackers and pretzels
• Tortilla chips or pita chips
• Naan or pita bread
• Grilled chicken, steak, or lamb meatballs (it pairs so perfectly with lamb meat as a high-quality protein source!)

I’ve also used this hummus dip as a condiment on sandwiches and wraps.

How To Store

I find that this recipe is best served right away as it can tend to become a bit soggy in the fridge. However, on the rare occasions, I have leftovers, I have successfully stored them in the fridge for up to 1 day.

If possible, I recommend storing the components separately. They will keep fresh for up to 2-3 days. Then, just assemble the layers before serving.
