I combined all my favorite Greek ingredients, layered them in a dish and created a dip that's a hit at parties or family game night.

Ingredients:
1 cup hummus
1 batch Chef Meg's Cucumber Raita *(find this in the 'Dips' category)
2 cups arugula, chopped
8 black olives, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
3 sprigs mint, chopped

Want to add more layers? Chop up any of these:
roasted red peppers
fresh tomatoes
red onions
pepperoncini
whole chickpeas
roasted garlic

Tips:
For easier portion control, layer the dip in 1-cup ramekins.

Serve this over a bed of dark leafy greens for a light summer supper. Pair with Greek-spiced grilled meats.

Directions:
To assemble the dip, use a glass bowl with straight sides. Spread the hummus in the bottom, then add the chopped arugula, raita, olives, feta and mint.


You can make everything ahead of time, but don't layer the dip until just before you're ready to eat or the cucumbers will make the dip watery.
