Ingredients
Scale
Base Layers
- 1 ½ cups hummus
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 English cucumber (peeled if desired, diced)
- 1 7.5-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumber: Peel the English cucumber if preferred and dice it into small pieces for layering. If preparing ahead of time, note that excess moisture may need to be drained to keep the dip from becoming watery.
- Layer the Hummus: On a large platter or plate, spread the 1 ½ cups of hummus evenly and smoothly as the base layer of the dip to create a creamy foundation.
- Spread the Greek Yogurt: Evenly spread 1 cup of Greek yogurt on top of the hummus layer smoothing it out to create a distinct second layer.
- Add the Vegetables and Toppings: Sprinkle the diced cucumber evenly over the Greek yogurt, followed by the roughly chopped artichoke hearts, then the quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, diced red onion, and finally the crumbled feta cheese on top to finish the layering.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the layered dip for at least 30 to 60 minutes or longer to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Serve chilled with pita chips or fresh vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Peeling the cucumber is optional and can be done according to personal preference.
- If making the dip ahead of time, consider draining diced cucumber or patting it dry to prevent excess water from making the dip soggy.
- Best served chilled and consumed within 3 days for freshness.
- Pair with pita chips, carrots, celery, or bell pepper strips for dipping.
