This is my new favorite summer appetizer!

It’s soooo fresh and delicious and unlike so many other appetizers I love to eat, it’s actually good for you!

There’s a layer of homemade or store bought Hummus then a yummy finely chopped Greek Salad.

It’s great served with any type of cracker but I like it best with baked pita chips or soft pita cut into triangles.

My family absolutely devours this.

I made it last week when we had friends over then the fam requested I make it again just for them to snack on!

Recipe Notes:

One of the keys to making this dip is to cut the tomatoes and cucumbers fairly finely.

Then the salad mix is easier to scoop up on a pita chip and you don’t just get a chunk of cucumber or tomato but rather a mix of everything.

I made this dip with a homemade Hummus.

I love this Hummus because it’s a bit more lemony.

You can make this with store bought Hummus and probably not even notice a difference.

Your choice.

I personally like Sabra brand but there are lots of other great ones out there.

I’d use about 1 3/4 to 2 cups for the Hummus layer.

I like this made with fresh dill because it adds so much great fresh flavor.

May sound crazy but even though I use fresh dill I use dried oregano.

For some reason, fresh oregano tastes bitter to me so I don’t use it very often.

Next time you need an appetizer I hope you give this one a try!

    I made this for my daughter’s birthday party and it was delicious! One of the only things that wasn’t left over.

      Hi Sue. Yes, it can. I would keep the veggie topping in a separate bowl in the fridge. Drain the veggies of all liquid before using them. Then assemble it all just before you serve it.

    I’m confused. Did something happen to this page? I swear the ingredents list for the greek opa dip was on here just a week ago. Now I can’t find it. Plenty of pictures and description, but no straight up ingredients list. Am I missing something?
