7 Layer Greek Meze Dip Recipe 445

Steps:

• For the bulgur: Bring 1/3 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; add the bulgur, season with salt and simmer over low heat, covered, until tender, 10 minutes. Add the olive oil and fluff with a fork; let cool.
• For the grilled vegetables: Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise 1/2 inch thick. Toss with olive oil and salt in a large bowl. Cook on a grill pan over medium-high heat, turning, until tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
• For the tomatoes: Toss together the tomatoes, mint, parsley, onion, olive oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread the hummus in the bottom of a 2-quart bowl or small trifle dish. Top with the chopped olives. Add the chopped grilled vegetables, then the tzatziki. Top with the cooked bulgur, then the tomato mixture. Crumble the feta in an even layer over the top. Scoop out the dip with a big spoon and serve with the pita chips.

Steps:

• In a shallow glass bowl or baking dish, begin layering in the ingredients in the following order: hummus, roasted red bell peppers, tzatziki, diced cucumbers, olives, feta and cherry tomatoes.
• Squeeze over the lemon juice and garnish with the parsley.
• Serve with the pita wedges.

Steps:

• Spread hummus evenly in a pie dish and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Layer feta cheese over humus, breaking up any large pieces. Layer Kalamata olives and diced cucumber on top. Spread tzatziki sauce carefully on top. Top with tomatoes and green onions. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• You'll need a 2-quart bowl or small trifle dish for these dips. Scoop them out with a big spoon; each dip serves about 8. Toss 3 chopped plum tomatoes with chopped mint and parsley, chopped red onion, olive oil and lemon juice. BULGUR: Bring 1/3 cup water to a boil; add 1/3 cup bulgur, season with salt and simmer over low heat, covered, until tender, 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and fluff with a fork; let cool. TZATZIKI: Combine 1/2 cup each plain Greek yogurt and diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. GRILLED VEGETABLES: Heat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. Cook eggplant and zucchini, turning until tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. Layer all ingredients in the bowl, from bottom to top, in this order: hummus, olives, grilled vegetables, tzatziki, bulgur, chopped tomato salad, and feta. Serve with pita chips.

Steps:

• Shred the cucumber on a box grater, toss with a large pinch of salt and let drain in a strainer for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any remaining liquid. Mix the drained cucumber with the yogurt, olive oil, garlic and mint in a medium bowl.
• Toss together the parsley, olives, lemon zest and scallions in a small bowl. Place the artichokes in a piece of cheesecloth or in a strainer and squeeze dry. Repeat with the peppers.
• Layer the dip in a medium 3-quart clear glass trifle bowl or your favorite small serving bowl. Spread out the artichokes on the bottom, then top, in even layers, with the cucumber-yogurt mixture, peppers, pita chips, hummus, feta and the olive-herb mixture.
• Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight (if refrigerating overnight then top with the olive-herb mixture right before serving). Serve with pita chips.
