There’s a pretty popular layer dip of another nationality. You know the one I’m talking about. And while it’s delicious, this appetizer takes layer dips to a new level. I love Mediterranean flavors: herbs, lemon, garlic, olive oil, yogurt, and hummus are all staples in my kitchen. Why not combine those flavors to make a delicious little snack?
Serve this with pita bread, pita chips, or fresh veggies for a true crowd-pleaser. Or eat it with a spoon. I’m not going to judge you. I think as far as dips go, this can be considered on the healthier side because it isn’t full of sour cream and cheese (although I love those too…check out my caramelized onion dip). I have no doubt that this will be a hit at your next party!
