Greek Layered Dip

Everyone loves a layered dip, and this Greek-inspired version swaps the usual taco-seasoned base for a creamy combination of cream cheese and hummus flavored with garlic, lemon, and Greek seasoning. Topped with crisp cucumber, ripe tomatoes, briny black olives, tangy crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of scallions, it’s a colorful, flavorful centerpiece that pairs perfectly with pita chips or fresh vegetables.

Game Day Grub

This dip is a winner for game day because it’s fast, fuss-free, and crowd-pleasing. No oven time required—just a bowl, a spoon, and a few minutes of prep. I recently stocked up on supplies including pita crackers, crumbled feta, sliced black olives, tzatziki, and several hummus flavors, which made building this layered dip even easier. The variety of hummus flavors adds creativity—try a classic roasted garlic or an everything bagel flavor if you want more depth.

The hummus layer brings velvety texture and a savory flavor that complements the tang of the cream cheese and feta. If you’re serving a mixed crowd, this recipe covers several dietary needs: it’s vegetarian and naturally gluten free when served with vegetable sticks or certified gluten-free crackers.

My kids and I love tasting new hummus flavors straight from the container—savory and even dessert-style hummus can be surprisingly good. For this layered dip, choose a classic hummus that will balance the cream cheese base without overpowering the fresh vegetables.

How to Make Greek Layered Dip

Here’s a quick summary of the layers and assembly. Scroll to the recipe block for exact ingredient amounts and a printable version.

The Layers:

1. Cream cheese blended with garlic, lemon juice, and Greek seasoning.
2. Smooth hummus spread over the cream cheese.
3. Small-diced cucumber (seeds removed for less moisture).
4. Small-diced tomatoes (seeds removed).
5. Sliced black olives for a salty, briny bite.
6. Crumbled feta for tang and texture.
7. Finely diced scallion for a bright finish.

Assembly:

1. Beat the cream cheese with minced garlic, lemon juice, and Greek seasoning until smooth.
2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in a shallow serving dish or a deep 9-inch pie plate.
3. Spread the hummus evenly over the cream cheese layer.
4. Top with cucumber, tomatoes, olives, crumbled feta, and scallions.
5. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours so the flavors meld.

For dippers, serve with pita crackers or fresh vegetable sticks like carrot sticks, celery, and red bell pepper. Open Nature pita crackers are a crunchy match, but any sturdy chip or crisp vegetable will work well.

Recipe

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note that the cucumber and tomato will release moisture over time; if you plan to keep leftovers, consider keeping the veggie toppings separate and adding them just before serving.

What to Serve with Greek Layered Dip

This dip is excellent with pita crackers, sturdy chips, or a selection of fresh vegetable sticks such as carrots, celery, cucumber spears, and red bell pepper. It also makes a great complement to a mezze platter alongside tzatziki, stuffed grape leaves, and warm pita.
