Seven Layer Greek Dip is a fun Mediterranean spin on the classic version we're all used to! This dip begins with a layer of freshly made hummus then it's topped with a creamy, garlic-herb Greek yogurt layer then a layer of English cucumbers, grape tomatoes, black or kalamata olives, then finally it's finished with feta and red onions. Don't you just want to dive into all that goodness?

Ingredients

  • 1 can garbanzo beans

    drained and 1/4 cup liquid from can reserved*, 15.5 oz

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp tahini
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 small garlic cloves

    minced

  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
    or to taste
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/3 cups thick plain Greek yogurt

    such as Fage

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill
  • 1 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1 cup diced grape tomatoes or Roma tomatoes

    drain off excess liquid after cutting

  • 1/3 cup sliced black olives or kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 Tbsp chopped red onion

    rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. 1

    Add drained garbanzo beans to a food processor along with tahini, lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic, cumin and 1/2 tsp salt. Pulse for about 1 minute then with food processor running slowly pour olive oil and 2 Tbsp of the liquid from the chick peas into the food processor. Hummus should be somewhat thick, but add more of the liquid as needed 1 Tbsp at a time. Spread hummus into an even layer in an 11 by 7-inch or 8 by 8-inch baking dish (at this point chill through if you have time).

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl stir together Greek yogurt with parsley, dill and remaining garlic. Dollop mixture over hummus layer in dish and spread into an even layer. Top with cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta and onions. Serve with pita chips (serve immediately after sprinkling veggies over top for best results). Store in refrigerator.

  3. 3

    *I made a double batch of the hummus so I could save half for later. If you want to do this just double eveything from the garbanzo beans to the olive oil then only use half of it for the dip.

About this Recipe

Craving a vibrant, fresh dip that's perfect for any gathering? This Greek Seven Layer Dip is a delightful Mediterranean twist on a classic, offering layers of bright flavors and satisfying textures that everyone will love.

What makes this recipe truly special is its foundation of freshly made hummus, combined with a creamy, garlic-herb Greek yogurt layer. Each spoonful offers a harmonious blend of earthy chickpeas, tangy yogurt, and crisp vegetables, providing a refreshing change from everyday dips. It's a fantastic way to bring the essence of the Mediterranean to your table with minimal effort.

Get ready for a dip that's bursting with flavor. You'll experience the smooth richness of homemade hummus, followed by the cool, herby tang of Greek yogurt infused with parsley and dill. Then comes the delightful crunch of diced English cucumbers and grape tomatoes, balanced by the briny notes of black or kalamata olives. Finally, the salty crumble of feta cheese and a hint of zesty red onion complete this incredible flavor journey. Despite its impressive layers, this dip comes together quickly, making it an ideal appetizer for spontaneous get-togethers or a light, refreshing snack.

Feel free to customize this vibrant dip to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, use black olives instead of kalamata, or opt for Roma tomatoes if grape tomatoes aren't available—just remember to drain any excess liquid. For an even creamier hummus, you can adjust the reserved liquid from the garbanzo beans. You can also play with the fresh herbs, adding a touch of mint or oregano for a different aromatic profile.

This Greek Seven Layer Dip is a showstopper, ideal for potlucks, parties, or simply a relaxed evening with friends. Serve it alongside warm pita bread, crisp vegetable sticks, or your favorite crackers for a truly satisfying and memorable experience.
