What’s In 7 Layer Greek Dip?

Okay, so we use a little more than seven ingredients in this Greek dip… But who’s counting when the flavor is out of this world? Sometimes, a little extra goodness in the form of just a few more ingredients is exactly what a dish needs!

Hummus – We love to use our healthy chickpea hummus, but any flavor you like finest will taste great. To save time, feel free to use a store-bought option instead. We love Baba’s hummus. It’s our go-to store-bought hummus.
Tzatziki – You could also use plain Greek yogurt seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper.
Tomatoes – We use grape tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes also work well.
Cucumbers – We recommend using Persian cucumbers, because they have a thinner skin, but English make a great substitute.
Kalamata Olives – Black olives will work as well.
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) – Use canned chickpeas, and rinse and drain them well.
Olive Oil – This adds a rich, peppery flavor and helps the seasonings stick.
Za’atar– This is a popular Middle Eastern spice blend full of savory, herbaceous flavor.
Feta Cheese – This adds a silky texture and tangy, salty flavor. Full-fat feta crumbles are finest.
Baby Arugula – Baby spinach will also work. Or, swap it out with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
