All Seven Layers
I’m a HUGE fan of seven layer dip. In fact, I rarely make it because I will continuously sneak back to the buffet table over and over until I’ve eaten it all. Recently I wondered to myself if I could substitute hummus for beans and the idea for a greek style seven layer was born. This dish looks so vibrant and it’s just as delicious as it’s latin flavored cousin!
Here’s What You’ll Need
1 Container of Plain Hummus
1 Small Container of Plain Green Yogurt
1/2 A Red Onion – Diced
5 Sweet Peppers – Diced
Greek Style Kalamata Olives – Diced
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Pine Nuts
Oregano
Cucumber, Pita Chips, Green Bell Peppers – for scooping
Hummus
First use a spatula to spread the bottom layer of your hummus out. I used a large plate but you could do your dip in a bowl, a casserole dish, whatever.
Yogurt
Since greek yogurt is so thick I put mine in a baggie and snipped off a corner to use it like a pastry bag. Once the yogurt was down it was easier to spread it out without it mixing in with the hummus. If you’ve never had greek yogurt by the way, it’s a great substitute for sour cream and has crazy high protein!
Sliced and Diced
Next I diced my peppers and my onions and put them in as the next layers.
Stacking Up
- Diced Olives
Next dice your olives
- Add the Olives
Now you can sprinkle your feta, you pine nuts and a healthy dose of oregano over the top of it all.
Almost Ready
Lastly you can surround you dip with some tasty dippers like sliced cucumber, pita chips, bell pepper or more of your sweet peppers.
Ready to Party
Dip Dip Hooray!

Looks yummy! I think I’d toast the pine nuts though. It’s so simple .. a couple minutes in a non stick pan on low imparts so much flavor to the nut and the dish it is in. Thanks for the great idea!
So funny Michelle I almost did that and then gave up at the last minute based on sheer laziness. It’s a good idea though!!
I love this. I am going to go back to the store tonight to get the ingredients . Love your great ideas.
Hi Rachel,

I have a very healthy 24 yr. old daughter ( I don’t know where she got it because I live on chocolate) and she will absolutely love this recipe. I will love this recipe and then we will have one big happy family! Ha ha! Thanks
