This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Albertsons Companies. The opinions expressed are all mine. Each year when school rolls around, I start thinking about what sorts of snacks I can give my kids when they get home, tired, hot, and hungry after a long day at school but it’s way too long before dinnertime. I especially like healthy afterschool snack options that are shareable so we can sit down at the table together and enjoy something tasty while chatting about their highs and lows of a day at school before we start the routine of homework, piano practice and other activities. This layered Greek dip recipe is fantastic with pita chips, but it is also wonderful with baby carrots, sugar snap peas, and other dippable chips or crackers. I love the combination of textures and flavors with the creamy hummus and yogurt and cold, crunchy cucumbers and salty feta cheese. And the grape tomatoes are the juiciest, sweetest ever and perfect on top of this quick and easy snack that takes all of about 10 minutes to throw together.
How to Make Greek 7 Layer Dip
If you are wondering whether your kids will revolt at a savory, healthy snack after school instead of cookies, try getting them involved in making this Greek 7 layer dip with you! While I handled the knife skills required to dice cucumbers, quarter grape tomatoes, and mince a couple cloves of garlic, my 4-year old stirred together the easy tzatziki yogurt sauce and my 7-year old spread the hummus in the bottom of the serving dish. Then they both took turns sprinkling cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta, pine nuts, and parsley on top. That’s really all there is to it! Then we could sit down and enjoy this light and healthy snack together and they loved it! You could have even more layers if you wanted by adding chopped artichoke hearts or kalamata olives, which would both be totally in line with the classic Greek flavors already going on in this dip. And while I think this is perfect for back-to-school season, I can see us eating this dip all year long as an appetizer at Christmas or New Years, at tailgating parties, or even taking for a light lunch at the park or the pool in the summer. Although you might want to double the recipe for a 9 x 13 baking dish if you are planning on serving it to a crowd since my family of four can polish off a batch of this yummy dip in one sitting. I love this Greek 7 Layer Dip, because it’s actually really quite healthy with simple, wholesome ingredients but still with big, indulgent flavors that comes from using fresh, amazing ingredients.
