Whether it’s a summer BBQ or springtime soirée, this Layered Greek Dip is sure to fit any fabulous event that you’re hosting or invited to!
Don’t you just love the days when you wake up and don’t really have a plan? The days that slowly unfold and pull you along rather than their pushing you along? It is a rare gift in our hustle and bustle culture to have days that let us be slow and spontaneous. When these days arrive, I spend a little more time enjoying my morning coffee, playing with our pup, and trying out new recipes.
On this particular day I had Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publication to thank. Have you seen the Best-Loved Reader Recipes edition? It is so fun and chock full of delicious recipes with anecdotal stories behind them. They take the reader on a walk through history with favorite recipes from 1930 through today.
And since I’m always on the lookout for new appetizers, this Layered Greek Dip beckoned me!

Delicious dip. Have not tried yet this layered Greek deep, but looks fantastic in your beautiful pictures and not difficult to prepare. Greek food is always so refreshing and healthy. Will surprise my family with it this weekend. Thanks.
Thank you! Enjoy!
A Greek salad is my go to meal at lunch so I could see myself standing in front of the dip bowl at a party and not wanting to move. 😀
Easy to do!! I’ll be standing there with you! 🙂
What a great dip to add to the collection, totally on board with all the ingredients that make this dip out of this world good!
You can’t miss with any of these flavors! Thanks, Kevin!!
Oh my gosh… layers of goodness Annie! I’ve not seen BHG’s reader favorites, but I’ll keep an eye out for it! What a treat. I can see why this one is on the list. I’d dive right in…. brining the wine! xo (PS Happy Birthday To Dom!)
Hi Traci! I’m sorry – I should have mentioned that this is an archived edition…2013. You may have some digging to do (but worth it! 😉 ). Thank you, friend!! 🙂
Love the greek flavours in this one Annie! The cream cheese layer, then hummus and all of those toppings!! This would be perfect for a backyard gathering with a few beverages!
The perfect summer treat! Thanks, Leanne!
Wow Annie! There is cream cheese, hummus and feta in this dip; three things I love to eat. Yum! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This one’s a keeper! Thanks, friend!
Would it be terrible to just eat a whole batch of this for dinner? I am digging (or dipping) the flavors in this dip!!
Not terrible at all! Maybe I have some experience with that! 😉
Thank you Beauty! And by the way, I would split my sundae with you any-day!
Love you! Dominick
You’re welcome sweets! Heheheh! Ohh, I know you will! 😉 Love you!!
I love magazine issues like that! I have an issue of Bon Appetit from the 90s that I curl up in a chair with every so often that sounds similar.
And layered Greek dip is inspired! I’ve had layered bean dip, but never anything like this. Sounds delicious and perfect for summer get togethers!
Yep! They’re oldies but goodies, right? Love this one! Thanks, Marissa!
So tasty! Give me some bread and a bowl of this dip and I will call it a meal! Happy birthday to your hubs! Cheers!
Thank you, Milena!!
Happy birthday, Dominick! And I’m looooving this dip. I could make an entire meal out of it without even putting it on burgers :). Looks SO GOOD!
Burgers, hot dogs….so good! Thanks, Kelsie!!
Annie, this sounds and looks SO good! I love all of these delicious flavours 🙂 I cannot wait to try! This would be a hit with my friends, with a lovely wine! 🙂
Always with a lovely wine….or a cold brew! 😉 Thanks, friend!

Fabulous dip and I just love the idea of using it as a burger topping, too! And of course, happy birthday to your husband, today 🙂
Thank you, Jennifer!! This just works!! 🙂
Great minds Annie! We are both thinking Greek today! I love Mediterranean flavors. This dip will be happening soon here. Perfect for weekend company!
Yaaaas! When I saw your sneak peak yesterday on Insta Stories, I thought the same thing!! Nothing like good Greek flavors! Thanks, friend!
I’ve never met a dip I didn’t like and this one looks so yummy. Something about spring coming that makes me crave Greek salad and hummus and feta – all the good stuff. Pinning this gorgeous dip to make at my next get together!
Hahah! You and I have that in common! Give me all the dip!! Thank you, Kim!!
