7-Layer Greek Dip

Before we get to this great dip, I wanted to let you all know that you can now follow us on bloglovin'. I'm sure those of you who are avid blog readers know about bloglovin'. I love the format and being able to catch up on all the great blogs I follow in one place. Just click the bloglovin' button on the right hand side of the blog to follow us. Now onto today's recipe.

The fresh flavors in this dip are amazing. We had a version of this dip last summer on my girls trip to the lake and we just devoured it. There is quite a bit of chopping involved here, but trust me it is worth it. I also like that it is best if you make it ahead of time so there isn't any last minute preparation. If you have a sharp eye, you'll notice that my version is actually 8 layers because of the addition of the marinated artichoke hearts. I love them and couldn't imagine this dip without them. For another great dish from our girls trip check out this Roasted Vegetable Lasagna.  

7-Layer Greek Dip
Recipe Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens

1 package (8-ounces) light cream cheese, softened
1/4  cup light sour cream
1  teaspoon dill weed
1/2  teaspoon dried oregano
3  cloves garlic, minced (1 1/2 teaspoons)
2  teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1  1/2 cups hummus
1  jar (6-8 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1  cup seeded and diced cucumber
1  cup seeded and diced tomato
1/2  cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
1/3  cup chopped green onions
1/2  cup crumbled Feta cheese

Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, dill, oregano, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread into the bottom of a 8" square pyrex or an deep pie dish. (My picture above is a double batch and I put it in a 9 x 13" dish.) 

Evenly spread the hummus on top of the cream cheese layer. Evenly top with the artichoke hearts, cucumber, tomato, olives, green onion and Feta cheese. Cover and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Serve with crackers or pita chips. It's also great with our Soft Flatbread Wedges.

Enjoy!
