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!

My husband & I are leaving for Denver in the morning and are beyond excited! I’m so glad you linked your Denver post today because we have our fingers crossed that we’ll get to hit up a brewery (hopefully New Belgium) and it was great to get to read about your trip! Have fun in Colorado!
Have a great trip! I’m on my husband’s case about a trip to CO, I’ve been dying to go for years now! Can’t wait for your recaps.
This Greek platter looks pretty bee’s knees. I can foresee making something similar, modifying it due to my aversion to feta & olives of course. :( I can’t help it, I just can’t get myself to like either of them!
this looks amazing and so refreshing. I cant wait to give it a try :)
I made this last night, minus the olives. I used Wheat Thins to dip with. It’s a very filling easy to make meal. Great idea!!
We must be on the same wavelength this week! I made something very similar for a quick dinner the other night. Totally delicious!
That dip looks so tasty! Dips are way too easy to eat at bbqs haha. I’m so jealous of your wedding this weekend- I love weddings and haven’t been to many because all my friends are still a bit young haha. I’ll probs be the first to be married ;)
Looks good! I’ve been struggling to be creative about no heat, protein packed summer dinners, this will do!
Hi from Denver! If you guys need suggestions for fun hikes that are not too far from town and that give you the same experience as a 14er without the crazy altitude sickness, Chief Mountain is lovely! And afterwards you can go to Park Burger! Best burgers in Denver, promise. But while you’re in FoCo, check out the tempeh burgers at Avogadro’s Number!
What a GREAT idea!!!! Gonna serve this at our next girl night in!!! YUMMMMM!
Oh this is so perfect! We have a church picnic this weekend, and I wanted something nice and cool to bring. Thanks so much for sharing!
