mediterraneandip Healthy Recipe: Mediterranean Layer Dip

This delicious recipe comes to us courtesy of Francie at Frantic Home Cook - one stop there and you’ll be hooked to her tasty, healthy recipes and her yummy sense of humor. Cheers!

2 c. prepared hummus (store bought or your own favorite recipe )

1 c. plain yogurt, drained overnight* or sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 c. chopped red pepper

1/2 c. chopped cucumber

1 c. feta cheese, crumbled

1 small can chopped black olives

A handful of fresh parsley

*If you’re using yogurt, try Greek yogurt which is thicker or drain your plain yogurt overnight through a coffee filter in a sieve over a bowl in the fridge.

Spread the hummus in the bottom of a clear pie plate.  In a bowl, mix the yogurt or sour cream with the 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of cumin and about half of the fresh parsley, chopped.  Spread this over the hummus. Top with another layer of red pepper, a layer of cucumber, a layer of black olives and finish with a layer of crumbled feta.   Sprinkle the remaining chopped fresh parsley over the top.  Just perfect for toasted pita chips.  Easy peasy.

Thanks, Frantic Home Cook! Oh, by the way - Francie says the feta cheese is missing from this picture because her husband ate it. :)
