What’s In 7 Layer Greek Dip?
Okay, so we use a little more than seven ingredients in this Greek dip… But who’s counting when the flavor is out of this world? Sometimes, a little extra goodness in the form of just a few more ingredients is exactly what a dish needs!
- Hummus – We love to use our healthy chickpea hummus, but any flavor you like best will taste great. To save time, feel free to use a store-bought option instead. We love Baba’s hummus. It’s our favorite store-bought hummus.
- Tzatziki – You could also use plain Greek yogurt seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper.
- Tomatoes – We use grape tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes also work well.
- Cucumbers – We recommend using Persian cucumbers, because they have a thinner skin, but English make a great substitute.
- Kalamata Olives – Black olives will work as well.
- Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) – Use canned chickpeas, and rinse and drain them well.
- Olive Oil – This adds a rich, peppery flavor and helps the seasonings stick.
- Za’atar – This is a popular Middle Eastern spice blend full of savory, herbaceous flavor.
- Feta Cheese – This adds a creamy texture and tangy, salty flavor. Full-fat feta crumbles are best.
- Baby Arugula – Baby spinach will also work. Or, swap it out with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Serving Suggestions
Serving your Greek Dip with pita bread or pita chips is a classic choice, but you can get creative, too. The versatility of this dip opens up a world of possibilities for amazing pairings. Consider using pretzels, tortilla chips, naan, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or bell pepper strips.
Can I Make this Recipe Ahead of Time?
We don’t recommend layering all the ingredients in advance as they can become watery and soggy. However, you can chop the veggies and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for one to two days before assembling.
How Long Does Greek Layer Dip with Tzatziki Last in the Fridge?
This 7 layer Greek dip is best served right away while everything is still fresh! However, if you have leftovers, they can be covered with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and stored in the fridge for one to two days.
Common Questions about 7 Layer Greek Dip with Tzatziki
Cold! This dip is all about fresh, chilled layers that are crisp and refreshing. It’s the perfect appetizer for parties, especially on warm days.
Absolutely! Add roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, or other Mediterranean-style ingredients. It’s easy to make it your own.
Dice your veggies and give them a little pat with a paper towel to soak up excess moisture before layering. This keeps everything crisp and prevents soggy dip.
Hummus is the classic base—it’s creamy, garlicky, and holds everything together. It also pairs perfectly with all those bright toppings.

This is delicious! I didn’t use the tzatziki as I thought it was too much with the hummus! I also omitted the feta( by accident!) but did add some chopped pistachios.i served it with Regina’s pitas and baby sweet peppers! It was a hit that was as fresh and perfect for a summer evening. Thanks!
