7 Layer Greek Dip

Jul 20, 2011

7 Layer Greek Dip

So I went with the Greek dip last weekend for dinner with our friends. Are you surprised? I am a Greek food freak, can’t get enough of it. This dip was amazing!! Even my hubby who usually doesn’t love hummus or feta was scarfing it down. It was easy to prepare early in the day and then just let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. I think it gets even better as it sits and the flavors mold together. I think overall this is a pretty healthy dip that you don’t have to feel guilty eating. I served ours with whole wheat pita chips.
