Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip With Hummus
This Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip is very easy to put together, makes a light and impressive party appetizer.
Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip With Hummus
Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for mediterranean seven layer dip, which I made for a ladies night with my girlfriends.
This dip is inspired by one of my all time favorite salads : Mediterranean Salad With Spicy Roasted Chickpeas.
You can definitely tell I’m on a Mediterranean recipe kick lately.
That’s because as much as I like grilling in the summer, I also like to make simple appetizers like this one, which require minimal effort.
Grab some pita bread (chips or even regular bread) and this will make a light meal.
Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip Recipe
I’ve noticed that most of the Greek/Mediterranean dip recipes include a layer of Greek yogurt, but I never make it like that.
To me just a layer of hummus (like this Roasted Garlic and Lemon one) is just enough.
Then I added a layer of roasted red peppers, cucumbers, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, tomatoes and chopped red onions and dill (red onions and dill=one layer!).
You can leave the dill out of switch it with chopped parsley.
Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip
You can definitely make the dip a few hours or a day in advance, but keep in mind that vegetables could get a little watery.

7 layer hummus! UMMMMMM don’t get me near this – I will dive head first into it! And that’s just NOT lady like now is it?! lol
Absolutely delicious, Mira!! Mediterranean flavors are one of my favorites and you’ve combined them beautifully here! Looking forward to trying this alfresco this summer! Thank you for this!
This dip is perfect! I’ve been working on my own rendition of a dip like this, but it will be somewhat different. 🙂 Yours is so fresh and vibrant, and would be a hit at any gathering! Beautiful photos, Mira — pinned!
Thanks Marcie! Can’t wait to see yours!
This is SO cool. I keep seeing 7 layer dips using packet mixes and canned refried beans. Ew! No thanks! Now THIS is more than a dip. I would use big pieces of lebanese bread and make wraps out of it! I love it! And I love the cheery summer colours too! N x
So glad you like it ! It is funny, because I was thinking of Lebanese bread (forgot to get it at the store), then I tried to make pita and failed, so that’s why you see that toast on one of the photos! Thanks Nagi!
Hi Mira, your Mediterranean dishes are so inspiring, the colours of these layers are really alluring. Can’t wait to try this dish!
