Ingredients
Scale
1 container (10 oz) store-bought or homemade hummus
1 cup store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped black olives (pitted)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
Pinch of dried oregano
Pita chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers for serving
Instructions
Prepare a serving platter or shallow dish large enough to hold the layers.
Spread the entire container of hummus evenly over the bottom of the dish to create the first layer.
Gently spoon the tzatziki sauce over the hummus layer, spreading it carefully to avoid mixing the two bases.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the tzatziki layer.
Distribute the chopped tomatoes over the feta layer.
Scatter the chopped black olives evenly across the tomato layer.
Sprinkle the finely chopped red onion over the olives.
Garnish the top layer with the chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the entire surface of the dip.
Sprinkle a small pinch of dried oregano over the top for aroma.
Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve cold with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For cleaner layers, ensure the hummus and tzatziki are cold before assembling.
You can prepare the first four layers a day ahead and add the fresh toppings (tomato, onion, parsley) just before serving.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor result.
