Ingredients
Main Dip Ingredients
- 12 oz Container of hummus
- 10 - 12 oz Container of tzatziki
Toppings
- 1 medium English cucumber, finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely diced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp capers or sliced olives
- 3 tbsp fresh chopped mint
Instructions
- Layer the hummus: Spread the hummus evenly on the bottom of a shallow serving dish or platter, creating a smooth base layer for the dip.
- Add tzatziki: Spoon the tzatziki gently over the hummus layer, taking care not to mix them, to maintain distinct layers.
- Top with vegetables: Sprinkle the finely diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion evenly on top of the tzatziki layer.
- Final garnish: Add the crumbled feta cheese, capers (or sliced olives), and fresh chopped mint as the finishing touches to the layered dip.
- Serve immediately: Serve the dip right away with pita crackers, pita bread, fresh veggies, or your favorite crackers for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute capers with sliced black or Kalamata olives for a different flavor.
- For added spiciness, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; stir gently if layers mix.
- Use homemade or store-bought hummus and tzatziki depending on convenience and preference.
- Make sure to finely dice the vegetables for easy scooping and layering.
