I found this Greek Dip on line and took it to a "do" last week. I came home with an empty dish and rave reviews. To keep the dip even healthier, I chose slices of zucchini (sprinkled with pepper) and fresh green beans (blanched, shocked and sprinkled with sea salt) as well as whole wheat pita bread (brushed with olive oil and sea salt and warmed over the stove grate).



Online it's known as Zorba's Layered Veggie Dip -- at Linderhof, it's known as Greek Yogurt Dip!
The recipe as posted -- with my changes noted.
GREEK YOGURT DIP
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (I used regular as we had no plain Greek yogurt)
2 T. fresh snipped chives
1 cup hummus (store-bought, or make your own -- I used store-bought)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup oil-cured or Greek-style olives, sliced (I omitted the olives)
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, white and green parts, chopped
Fresh or dried oregano for garnish (I used dried)
Mix the yogurt and chives together and spread in a 10 inch glass pie plate
Spread the hummus evenly over the yogurt. Sprinkle with cucumber, then with tomatoes, olives, feta and green onions. Sprinkle top with oregano.

Sounds really tasty. I'm about to have tons of cucumbers from the garden so I will test it out!
This looks wonderful, Martha!! Love your presentation. I adore Greek food and buy hummus a lot because it is not only a good dip, but healthy too!
I am going to try this for the big holiday weekend. I'm trusting that I should double the recipe!

This looks so appetizing and healthy, too! I would definitely use the olives :-)
Yum, this looks delicious and I think I may make this over the Fourth. So interesting that Jim does not like olives. Walter doesn't either and I dearly LOVE them????? I think I'll add them in anyway to see what kind of reaction I get. {{smiling}
Loved this post and thanks for the recipe. It will always be "Linderhof's Greek Yogurt Dip" to me. {{smile}}.

You can get something close to Greek yogurt by letting regular yogurt sit in a coffee-filter-lined colander in a bowl overnight. A lot of sour acid flavor leaves it with the whey.
Healthy and delicious is a hard combination to beat. This looks wonderful.
Copying this recipe! I am making my homemade hummus today and must try it in your recipe - it sounds delightful.
