Ingredients
Scale
For the Layers:
- 2 cups hummus (plain or flavored)
- 1½-2 cups tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup English cucumber, diced and patted dry
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or diced Roma tomatoes (seeded)
- ½ cup red onion, finely diced
- ¾ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling (optional)
For Serving:
- Pita chips, pita bread, naan, crackers, or fresh vegetables
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice cucumber and pat very dry with paper towels. Dice tomatoes and if using larger tomatoes, remove seeds to prevent excess moisture. Finely dice red onion. Slice olives. Chop fresh herbs. Have all ingredients prepped and ready.
- First Layer – Hummus: Spread hummus evenly across the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×13-inch clear glass dish. Use a spoon or spatula to create a smooth, even layer that covers the entire bottom.
- Second Layer – Tzatziki: Carefully spread tzatziki sauce over the hummus layer, being gentle to avoid mixing the layers. Spread evenly to the edges.
- Third Layer – Vegetables: Sprinkle diced cucumbers evenly over the tzatziki. Follow with diced tomatoes, distributing evenly.
- Fourth Layer – Toppings: Sprinkle diced red onion across the vegetables. Add sliced Kalamata olives, distributing evenly. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over everything.
- Garnish: Top with chopped fresh parsley and dill. If desired, drizzle lightly with olive oil for extra richness and shine.
- Chill (Optional): For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Can be made up to 24 hours ahead.
- Serve: Serve chilled with pita chips, pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping
Notes
- Use a clear glass dish to show off the beautiful layers.
- Pat all vegetables very dry—excess moisture makes the dip watery.
- Don’t mix the layers; keep them distinct for visual appeal.
- Can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead; cover tightly and refrigerate.
- For vegan version, skip feta or use dairy-free feta, and ensure tzatziki is dairy-free.
- Customize layers based on preference—add or omit ingredients as desired.
