Zorba’s Layered Veggie Dip

July 8, 2007
Inspired by Simply In Season, by Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert (Herald Press, 2005).


SIMPLE SOLUTION: 

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (see below to make your own)
2 tablespoons fresh snipped chives
1 cup hummus (store-bought, or make your own Quick and Easy Hummus (it’s the second recipe on the page)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup oil-cured or Greek-style olives, sliced
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, white and green parts, chopped
Fresh or dried oregano, for garnish

1. Mix the yogurt and chives together and spread in a 10-inch glass pie-plate.

2. Spread the hummus evenly over the yogurt. Sprinkle with cucumber, then with tomatoes, olives, feta, and green onions. Sprinkle top with oregano.

3. Serve with pita chips. May also be used in wraps or pita pockets as a sandwich, or served with grilled eggplant.

Serves 4 to 6.

To Make Greek-Style Yogurt

Place the contents of a large container of plain yogurt in a colander or strainer lined with cheesecloth. Allow to drain for an hour. The thickened yogurt remaining in the colander is Greek-style yogurt!
