As some of you may already know, I’ve partnered with Sabra this year* to develop recipes as part of their 2014 Tastemakers Panel. I can proudly and honestly say that they make my absolute favorite hummus in some of the best and most creative flavors (they also make yummy guacamole, yogurt dips, salsas and other spreads such as my husband’s all-time favorite bruschetta), so it’s incredibly easy for me to come up with tasty recipes using their products.
For this recipe I used Sabra’s classic flavored hummus (chickpea with a bit of garlic and tahini), added a thick and creamy Feta cheese layer, and topped it with diced Mediterranean vegetables lightly tossed in a Greek vinaigrette. In the photos I actually put the hummus layer first, at the bottom of the dish, but in the recipe I recommend you use the Feta layer first since the hummus is easier to spread.
Feel free to serve this recipe with whatever dippers you like (pita chips, veggies, etc). To make my favorite Weight Watchers-friendly dipper, lightly mist the cut side of some sandwich thins with olive oil cooking spray and then sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the sandwich thin halves in the toaster oven and toast to your desired doneness. When finished, cut each sandwich thin half into 6 triangles. Each sandwich thin should give you 12 triangles.

Greek Layer Dip
Ingredients
- 6 oz crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 8 oz Sabra Classic Hummus
- 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/8 teaspoon oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ½ cup diced grape tomatoes
- 10 pitted Kalamata olives, diced
Instructions
- Combine the Feta*, cream cheese and yogurt in the bowl of a food processor and process until combined and smooth. Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Top this cheesy layer with the hummus and spread across evenly. (*I reserved a tiny bit of the feta to sprinkle over the top at the end)
- In a medium bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, oregano, mustard, salt and pepper and stir until well combined. Add the diced cucumbers, tomatoes and olives to the oil mixture and stir until well combined. Spread the tomato/cucumber mixture over the top of the hummus in the pie plate and serve.
