Greek Layer Dip
Party and game day food is usually all about the cheesy, heavy dips, but this Greek Layer Dip is a light alternative featuring the tangy, bright flavors of the Mediterranean. Plus it's topped with fresh veggies, so it won’t leave you feeling weighed down.
Equipment
- 1 serving tray or shallow dish
- 1 spoon
Ingredients
- 2 5.3 oz Boursin cheese blocks (Garlic & Fine Herbs works best)
- 1 cup hummus original or garlic flavor like this one
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup banana peppers (I like this brand that are orange and yellow for added color in the dip)
- 3/4 cup grape tomatoes
- 3/4 cup English cucumber
- 1/4 green onions
- pita crackers for serving
Instructions
- Grab a serving tray, a shallow bowl or pie plate. Using the back of a spoon, spread both of the 5.3 oz Boursin cheese blocks into a nice, consistent base layer across the bottom of your serving dish. Tip: take Boursin out of the fridge about 30 mins in advance and let it come to room temp so it is easy to spread.
- Next, spread 1 cup of hummus over the Boursin layer. I like to spread it narrower than the Boursin so you can still see a "frame" of the herby cheese layer peaking out from under hummus. I use store-bought homemade hummus, but if you prefer to make homemade hummus, go for it!
- Sprinkle 1/2c crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the hummus.
- Rough chop 1/2c kalamata olives and 1/4c banana peppers, and layer those over the feta.
- Cut 3/4 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise. Dice a 3/4 cup cucumber into thin, wedge shapes. Top the olive layer with the fresh vegetables. Tip: I prefer to use an English cumber as its a but sweeter than a traditional cucumber, but either will work.
- Garnish with 1/4 c sliced green onions and an additional 1T crumbled feta cheese (optional).
- Serve immediately with sliced pita bread, pita chips or tortilla chips.
- You can also make dip ahead of time...simply cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Notes
Either scoop leftover dip into an air-tight container, or keep dip on serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
