Greek Dip [UPDATED]

Published 8:45am Friday, March 8, 2013 Updated 8:46am Friday, March 8, 2013

I had a fun group of ladies over for a meeting and was looking for something new and fresh to serve as an appetizer.  If you’ve read my recipes before, you know how much I like Greek flavors!  I saw several different Greek dip recipes online and on PInterest – and adapted the best of each to come up with this recipe!

Everyone loved it – and what little was left I brought to the office the next day – and it was gone quickly!  Most people didn’t even know it was hummus and yogurt, they  thought it was a  taco dip made with refried beans and sour cream. This Greek version is lower in calories – and simply delicious!  I think I may have even created a few hummus lovers!

Greek Dip

Serves 12-14 as appetizer

Ingredients:

1 large container hummus (I used roasted red pepper)

1 cup plain greek yogurt

¾ cup diced cucumber (I removed the peel first)

¾ cup diced grape tomatoes

¼ cup sliced olives (I used black, but Kalamati olives would be great)

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 Tbls fresh or dried chopped parsley flakes

Directions:

Spread hummus on serving platter.  Carefully spread yogurt on top.  Then sprinkle the cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese on top.  Sprinkle all with the parsley flakes.

Serve with pita chips – or fresh pita bread, slightly warmed and cut into wedges.
