A must have recipe in your appetizer collection. This Mediterranean Layered Dip or Greek Layered Dip comes together in minutes; it’s fresh, easy, flavorful, healthy and tastes amazing.

Mediterranean layered dip is your go-to, last minute, “help I need a quick appetizer” recipe! Filled with good-for-you, nutrient rich fresh veggies, creamy feta cheese, herbs and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Grab your cucumbers, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives and chop-chop-chop, nice and small so with each scrumptious scoop they get tiny bits of everything in each bite.

You can make this in an 8×8 dish or any shallow dish. Make it big or small, simply adjusting the ingredients according to how many people you want to feed. I love schmearing it on a pretty plate or platter and then adding sliced veggies, pita wedges or crackers right to the plate. Gorgeous isn’t it!?

The beauty behind dishes like this is you make it how YOU like it. Don’t like cucumbers, leave them off, thought of something else you love…add it!

I adore Mediterranean foods, like this Chicken Shawrma, on repeat in our home or these super healthy Greek Quinoa Bowls!

HUMMUS DIP ASSEMBLE!

Stir the hummus well, so it’s nice and smooth. I used roasted red pepper hummus, you can use any flavor you like; schmear using a spatula in a reasonably thick layer on your serving dish.

Drizzle on some good quality olive oil, then sprinkle on some of your favorite spices. I used Trader Joe’s Onion Salt and a delicious Italian Seasoning blend, plus a sprinkle of sea salt. Try oregano, basil, pepper, red pepper flakes, all would be delicious.

Toss on some creamy feta cheese crumbles and a generous drizzle of balsamic vinegar, or try a balsamic reduction drizzled over the top. Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt…perfecto!!

Don’t forget your freshly chopped basil or oregano!

Serve with pita wedges (or make your own amazing Naan – gah!), sliced peppers (red, orange, yellow), tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers — whatever floats your boat!

✱ Kathleen’s Tips

Adjust amounts easily up or down depending on how many people you are feeding. Like more feta, add more, want to use roasted red peppers, add them! Try chopping pepperoncini, different olives, goat cheese, chopped zucchini. This recipe is so forgiving and yet it's so tasty and flavorful! Great for folks on Keto, Low Carb, Whole30 or Gluten Free diets.
