Greek Dip Platter is a light and refreshing appetizer recipe with 7 layers of bold Greek flavors. Serve as a light lunch or dinner instead!
It is hot, hot, hot which makes diving into a refreshing Greek Dip Platter all the more enjoyable!
This chilled, herb and veggie-packed dip is the perfect summer appetizer, but also a fantastic light dinner or lunch.
The recipe is inspired by a cream cheese-based Mediterranean dip my Mom makes for parties all the time, but I swapped out the cream cheese for tangy Greek yogurt, and added a layer of silky-smooth roasted red pepper hummus on top.
Cooling cucumbers and tomatoes, salty kalamata olives and feta cheese, and fresh chopped parsley are sprinkled on top then everything’s scooped up with crackers and sliced veggies.
This is an awesome protein-packed, quick, easy, and no-heat required app or meal!
Start the Greek Dip Platter by choosing a deep plate with a lip, or a small baking dish.
Spread 6 oz plain Greek yogurt on the bottom of the plate.
Greek yogurt is thick and creamy, and provides awesome flavor and staying power to the dish due to its high protein content.
Next, dab Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, or your favorite flavor of hummus, on top then spread it around.
Top the yogurt and hummus with minced red onion, chopped cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, and chopped kalamata olives.
Finish with a sprinkling of feta cheese, and lots of chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with the dippers of your choice — I love dipping in with crackers, sliced cucumbers, celery stalks, and sliced carrots.
This dip is IT. Incredibly refreshing, and PACKED with flavor!

Oh my I want some of this now! Love a no heat dish with how hot it’s been recently!
I just did a biking tour around Fort Collins last weekend. So much fun. I recommend Equinox, Fort Collins, O’dells, & New Belgium! They are all pretty close together. New Belgium has a Cocoa Mole beer that reminds me of a chili truffle. Very interesting. Have fun in CO!
Another fun tour in Boulder is Celestial Seasonings. The mint tea leave room is awesome!
so making this dish!! YUM!!! I have a restaurant suggestion for you in Denver if you are looking for a fun weekend brunch :) LOLA! It’s fantastic and one of our favorites. Enjoy our beautiful state.
You should plant marigolds around your veggies. It keeps the bunnies and other pests away. Apparently they smell like skunk!
The last couple of summers we have done road trips to the States but this year we’ve decided to stay closer to home but still take a week off and do day trips, maybe some hikes, or a couple days of camping.
What a great appetizer spread! Plenty of delicious flavors in there
Your recipe sounds really tasty, and perfect for summer! Have fun in Colorado.
such a great hot weather recipe! i’ve made a version of this before but it didnt have greek yogurt – like that addition to the mix. def a great way to cool off in this heat wave. it was 114 w heat index in richmond yesterday! :/ ps your pics of this dip are phenomenal!!!!
So your brother and I figured out via instagram that we live two blocks away from eachother! I’ll look for you in the hood!
It looks like great!!! :-)
Love the Greek dip idea; will have to try that for my next party!
I live in Colorado and have a couple suggestions for you…if you do make it to Ft. Collins, the bicycle-brewery tour is awesome! Make sure you stop by the Ft. Collins brewery (it’s down the street from O’Dells). My husband and I just had our wedding reception there last month – great beer and fun food (bacon-wrapped pretzels, yum).
Another place to check out is Centro Latin Kitchen in Boulder. Fantastic drinks and the avocado salsa is to die for. They have a cool happy hour brunch on the weekends, which features small plates at small prices.
Hope you have a good trip!
I don’t like roasted red peppers or red peppers in general, but that’s my favorite hummus flavor too! Weird!
