Greek 7-Layer Dip (Lightened Up)

This fresh, colorful Greek 7-Layer Dip is one of my favorite appetizers to bring to parties and potlucks. It’s a Mediterranean-inspired twist on the classic taco dip, layering creamy hummus, lemony Greek yogurt, crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, olives, feta, and green onions instead of refried beans and sour cream.

It’s light, flavorful, and always one of the first dishes to disappear. Best of all, it comes together in about 15 minutes with no cooking required.

Whether you’re entertaining, headed to a picnic, or just looking for a healthy snack to keep in the refrigerator, this easy layered dip is a winner.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Hummus – The creamy base of the dip. Plain hummus works beautifully, but roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, lemon, or spicy hummus are all delicious too.
• Plain Fat-Free Greek Yogurt – Mixed with fresh parsley and lemon juice to create a light, tangy second layer. Low-fat Greek yogurt also works well.
• Fresh Parsley – Adds color and freshness. Dill or mint make great substitutes.
• Fresh Lemon Juice – Brightens all the flavors. Bottled lemon juice works if that’s what you have.
• Black Pepper – Just enough to season the yogurt mixture.
• Roma Tomato – Firm tomatoes work best because they’re less watery. Be sure to remove the seeds.
• Cucumber – English or Persian cucumbers are ideal since they’re less watery and don’t require peeling.
• Kalamata Olives – Their briny flavor is classic Greek. Black olives are a milder alternative.
• Feta Cheese – Adds the signature tangy finish. Reduced-fat feta works well if you want to keep things lighter.
• Green Onions – Provide a mild onion flavor and a fresh pop of color.

How to Make Low Fat Greek 7-Layered Dip

Step 1: Spread the hummus evenly onto a serving plate or shallow serving dish.

Step 2: Stir together the Greek yogurt, parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper.

FAQs

Can I make Greek 7-layer dip ahead?

Yes. It’s actually better after chilling for an hour or two. If making it a full day ahead, wait to add the tomatoes and cucumbers until shortly before serving for the freshest texture.

How long will leftovers keep?

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Some liquid may collect from the vegetables, so simply blot it with a paper towel or gently stir before serving.

Can I use flavored hummus?

Absolutely. Roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, lemon, or spicy hummus all work beautifully.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, the dip itself is naturally gluten-free. Just serve it with gluten-free crackers or fresh vegetables if needed.
