Equipment Needed

Key Ingredients

Hummus: The base of it all! Use two 10 ounce containers of store bought hummus for convenience, or make your own if you are not in a hurry.

Tzatziki: The creamy Greek yogurt based sauce that adds a cool, tangy layer right on top of the hummus. Store bought tzatziki works beautifully.

Grape tomatoes: Cut in halves. these grape tomatoes are sweet, they add a pop of color and freshness.

Cucumber: It adds a nice cool crunch throughout every bite.

Kalamata olives: Add a savory depth that pairs so well with the hummus.

Bell pepper: Red or green, it adds color and a mild sweetness.

Red onion: Adds a subtle sharpness.

Feta cheese: Adds a salty creamy finish.

Capers: They bring a bright, pickled flavor that enhance the whole dip.

Fresh dill: Chopped and sprinkled on top for an herby, fragrant touch that ties all the flavors together.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Using spatula, spread the hummus in a smooth, even layer across your serving platter. Spoon tzatziki on top and spread it gently over the hummus.

Scatter the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, bell pepper, and red onion evenly over the top. Finish with the crumbled feta, drained capers, and fresh dill.

Serve right away with pita chips or warm naan bread for dipping.

Make Ahead

You can prep all your toppings up to a day in advance. Chop the vegetables, crumble the feta, and have everything ready to go in small containers in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, just assemble the dip. I'd hold off on building the whole thing until closer to serving time so the veggies stay crisp and fresh.

Expert Tips

• Use a wide, shallow platter. It gives you more surface area to spread the layers and show off all those beautiful toppings.
• Pat your veggies dry after chopping so they don't water down the dip.
• Don't skimp on the feta. A generous crumble of feta makes a big difference in flavor.
• Let the hummus come to room temperature. Setting it out for 10-15 minute mkes it much easier to work with.
• Drain everything well before adding them so the dip stays nice and fresh rather than watery.

Additions and Substitutions

• Hummus - Try roasted red pepper, garlic, or lemon hummus for a different flavor base.
• Tzatziki - If you can't find it. Plain Greek yogurt works in a pinch.
• Olives - If you are not a fan of kalamata, green olives or black olives are a great swap.
• Feta - Goat cheese crumbles are a delicious alternative.
• Add protein - Top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make it more filling.
• Add some spice with a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes gives it a nice kick.
• Sun-dried tomatoes - Swap or add alongside the fresh tomatoes for a deeper, richer flavor.
