Greek Layered Dip
I made this dip for a party this past weekend and it was a huge hit. It disappeared very quickly - and I'm not surprised! This dips starts with a layer of hummus and is followed by sun dried tomato pesto, then topped with all kinds of good stuff: cucumbers, onions, olives, feta and sun dried tomatoes.
I think artichokes would be great too, and I thought I had some in the cupboard, but I didn't. No matter, there was plenty of deliciousness here to be had.
I'm not going to include quantities here, cause it really depends on how big of a platter you are filling up - clearly, I should have used a much bigger plate since this was devoured in no time!
Start by spreading the hummus on a serving platter. You can use store bought or make your own. You don't want to spread this too thin - just for context, I used about 10 oz. for this platter. Top with a thin layer of sundried tomato pesto.
Sprinkle the cucumbers over the top,
then add the onions.
Next come the olives,
then the feta and sundried tomatoes.
Doesn't this look amazing???
It tastes amazing too. Serve with pita chips.
