Greek 7 Layer Dip Recipe That Is Great for Parties

Mediterranean Layered Dip

Party Dip Appetizer

A layered dip is always a crowd pleaser, so you’ll want to serve this Greek 7 layer dip at your next party. This easy Mediterranean dip looks good and is full of flavor. 

The dip is made from fresh ingredients and is vegetarian and gluten free. 

You’ll want to assemble the layered appetizer just before serving, but you can prepare the tomato cucumber mixture (a Greek-style salsa) and the Tzatziki yogurt sauce the night before your party.

That way you can cut down on your last minute prep just before guests arrive. 

The bottom layer of the dip is hummus and you can use whatever type you prefer. These days there are a lot of excellent ones available at grocery stores, but you can also make homemade. 

Following are a few of my hummus recipes that would work well with this layered dip.

• Hemp Hummus
• Spinach Hummus
• Avocado Hummus
• Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I usually do homemade, but in this case there is nothing wrong with store bought. 

This Mediterranean 7 layer dip is fun to make and fun to eat!
