Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 1 large cucumber (diced small)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prepare vegetables by dicing cucumber into small pieces, place in colander with light salt, let drain 10 minutes, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Halve cherry tomatoes and place cut-side down on paper towels to drain.
- 2. In a clear glass dish or trifle bowl, spread hummus evenly across the bottom in a smooth layer about half an inch thick.
- 3. Gently spread Greek yogurt over the hummus layer by dolloping in several spots first, then carefully spreading outward to avoid mixing layers. Season with garlic powder.
- 4. Distribute diced cucumbers evenly across the yogurt layer, spreading edge to edge.
- 5. Add halved cherry tomatoes over the cucumber layer, followed by sliced Kalamata olives and finely diced red onion.
- 6. Shower the top with crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle generously with fresh dill and parsley.
- 7. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve with pita bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, prepare 4-6 hours before serving. If making further ahead, add tomatoes and cucumbers closer to serving time to prevent excess moisture. Can be made vegan by substituting coconut yogurt and plant-based feta.
