•This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments.  Been loving the five layer taco dip for ever and never thought of expanding it to different cuisines……thank the heavens for Pinterest!!  We made this at work for a group of 95 women and it went over really well.  I was a little unsure about posting this because it’s so easy, nothing really is homemade, and there is very little prep.  It can be made hours before you need it and adjusted for any quantity. 

While you’re putting the dip together why not bake some pita chips?

 

For chips

1 package of your favorite pita pockets

1-2 tbls olive oil

sprinkle of salt, pepper and garlic powder

 

Cut the pitas in chip shapes, either wedge or strip.  Throw in a med bowl and toss with the oil and seasonings.  Spread out on a baking sheet and bake 350° 10-15 min until crunchy around edges and still a little soft in the middle.

For dip

Layer in this order in a 8×8 pan-if all ingredients are cold you can serve right away if not let chill for at least a hour.

 

48 oz of your favorite hummus-depending on what you like that’s  2-4 containers-Or double a batch of my hummus (bottom of the recipe)

1 pint kalamata olives-roughly chopped or sliced (go to the salad bar area in your grocery store)

1 cucumber-diced

2 vine ripe tomatoes-diced

1/2 pint crumbled feta cheese

1 tbls of fresh dill to sprinkle on top

♥Enjoy
