A Simple and Delicious Greek Dip Recipe

This Greek dip recipe builds on the delicious flavors of both hummus and tzatziki. It is a special easy-to-make dip you can serve at a party, or to your hungry family. Pile yummy layers of hummus, tzatziki, red onion, shiny Kalamata olives, cucumbers, and salty feta together and serve with fresh-cut vegetable crudités or pita bread. You can even adjust the layers to suit a fussy eater by skipping out the olives if you like.

Greek Dip Ingredients

You can use fresh or dried herbs in this recipe, but I do suggest using fresh parsley.

1 large English cucumber, seeded and cut in half
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
1 tbsp. fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried), divided
Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
3-4 cloves garlic, (minced) divided
1 tbsp. fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
1 1/2 cups hummus
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
1/2 cup Feta cheese, drained & crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

My other half goes crazy over any recipe I ever made with feta cheese, Greek salad, spinach and feta pizza, and this special Greek dip. As he munches he typically comments about how much he loves anything with feta, because of the extra tang. I hope your family enjoys eating this Greek dip as much as mine does.

Greek Dip Instructions

For best results, prepare the tomato-cucumber mixture and the Tzatziki sauce the night before. This gives the flavors a chance to combine. If making these two parts in advance cover and store in the refrigerator until just before you’re ready to assemble the Greek dip. I think it’s a win/win that you can mix some of the layers the day before, it makes it very simple to throw together before serving.

Tomato Cucumber Mixture

Dice one-half of the English cucumber and add to a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic (minced), and half of the oregano. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste and stir to combine. Cover and set aside until ready to use.

Tzatziki Sauce

To prepare the Tzatziki sauce, remove the seeds from the second half of the cucumber. This eliminates the need to strain.

Once seeded grate the cucumber and place in a second bowl. Add Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill, remaining oregano, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, cover, and set aside until ready to use.

Assembling the Greek Dip

Now that we have the tomato cucumber mixture and the tzatziki sauce we are ready to create the layered dip. I use store-bought hummus in this recipe as you can’t tell if it’s homemade with all the other flavours. And bought hummus makes for a very easy recipe.

Spread the hummus into a uniform layer on a small serving platter. Then build each layer a little bit smaller and narrower than the one before so you can see the layers.

Top the hummus with an even layer of your homemade tzatziki.

Drain the excess liquid from the seasoned tomato, red onion and cucumber mixture. Once drained place on top of the tzatziki sauce.

Add the Kalamata olives, followed with crumbled Feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with vegetable crudités for dipping. We enjoy eating it with celery, carrots, sliced fresh peppers and cauliflower.
