Servings: 8 Servings as an appetizer
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mediterranean

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ 1 ½ cups hummus (see note) storebought or homemade
  • 1 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • Sprinkle of Greek or other herb seasoning (see note)
  • 1 to 1 ½ 1 to 1 ½ cups chopped baby spinach
  • 1 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers or cherry tomatoes…or both!
  • ½ ½ cup chopped cucumber
  • ½ ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread hummus on a plate or serving platter. Dollop the yogurt across the top and spread into a somewhat even layer (doesn't have to be perfect).
  2. Sprinkle seasoning of choice (see note) lightly over the top of the yogurt.
  3. Top with chopped spinach, roasted red peppers, cucumbers and feta cheese. Sprinkle additional seasoning over the top, if desired.
  4. Serve immediately (can chill for an hour or so before serving but any longer and the yogurt will have a tendency to put off a bit of liquid/whey).

Notes

  • This Dip is Very Versatile: you could easily sub out the roasted red peppers for cherry tomatoes, baby kale instead of spinach, leave off ingredients you don't care for and add ones you love (think: olives, lemon zest, red onion, other veggies).
  • Hummus: I've made this with homemade hummus, and it's also crazy delicious with the roasted garlic hummus from Costco.
  • Feta: I highly recommend using block feta cheese if you can find it (crumble it yourself vs buying it already crumbled); it is so creamy and delicious. 
  • Seasoning: this quick appetizer really benefits from a light dusting of seasoning. I've used an Italian herb blend (yeah, yeah, not terribly Greek-ish in flavor, but it was delicious) and on another batch, I did a combo of coarse salt, coarse pepper, and garlic powder. A Greek seasoning would be phenomenal, too. The following info is also on my favorite feta dip post: I keep a simple homemade Greek seasoning in a repurposed spice jar in my pantry. I use this basic recipe on allrecipes.com, omitting the cornstarch, dialing down the cinnamon a bit (probably a heaping 1/2 teaspoon) and I don’t blend it – I just combine in the jar.
  • Serving: I don't recommend making this too far in advance (maybe just a couple of hours); the yogurt will give off liquid/whey as it sits, so I like to make and serve this within a few hours. A lot will depend on the thickness/brand of yogurt. 
  • Hummus: here is my favorite homemade version.
