Greek 7-Layer Dip

After seeing this recipe over at Our Best Bites, I decided I absolutely had to try it.  I mean a Greek variation to the Mexican 7-layer bean dip seemed so different and fun!  So here we go....

Greek 7-Layer Dip

8 oz. package cream cheese, softened

1 tsp lemon herb seasoning {not the kind with salt or pepper in it}

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp lemon juice

1 1/2 cup hummus

1 cup cucumbers, peeled, sliced and quartered

1 cup tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, chopped

1/3 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/8-1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced

Combine cream cheese, lemon herb seasoning, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until well combined and fluffy.  Spread on the bottom of a small shallow baking dish.  Then spread a layer of hummus followed by layers of the rest of the ingredients in order.  Wrap and chill at least 2 hours. 

I served them with thin slices of a sourdough baguette and some wheat bagel thins.   You could use pita chips, fresh veggies or anything else that catches your fancy. 

Mmm! Refreshing!  Definitely a lighter step up from the heavier Mexican variation.   It had a light, lovely summery taste to it.  I can see myself making this one like all the time!  It was so yummy!   I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
