My Mediterranean Seven Layer Dip is sure to be a hit at your next party!
Ingredients
For the Tahini Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup tahini
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
For the Layers
- 1 batch My Favorite Hummus or use store-bought, see notes
- 1 batch Baked Tofu Feta see notes
- tomatoes seeded and diced
- cucumbers seeded and diced
- kalamata olives sliced
- green onions sliced (or use minced shallot)
- tahini garlic sauce see above
- parsley to garnish chopped fine
- chips for serving pita chips or tortilla chips work well
Instructions
To make the Tahini Garlic Sauce:
- Put all Tahini Garlic Sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until completely combined.
For the Layers:
- Start with a base of hummus. I filled each jar about 1/3 of the way full with hummus, maybe 1/4 cup of hummus)
- Add the other layer ingredients one at a time. Spread them out to the outside edge of the jar so you can see the layers through the glass.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the tahini garlic sauce in a small plastic bag. Snip the corner off with a pair of scissors and use it as a piping bag, squeezing a drizzle of tahini garlic sauce over the top of each jar.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and serve with chips for dipping.
- (If not serving right away, cover with the lid and store in the refrigerator. These are best relatively fresh, but can sit in the fridge for the day if need be.)
Notes
My Favorite Hummus: recipe here
Soy Free Option: instead of using tofu feta, sub diced avocados or salted sunflower seeds as one of the layers, or simply omit.
Serving Options: If you are serving a huge crowd and want to save some time, feel free to layer this dip in a traditional casserole dish. I think an 8x8" pan would be a good size.
