Get a Taste of the Mediterranean with This Seven-Layer Greek Dip

There’s a party a minute, or at least that seems to be the case this time of year. If you’ve got a graduating senior, as I know many of you do, your fridge must have a few invites hanging on it! Maybe you’re hosting a party of your own, so perhaps you have a draft of the menu you’ll be serving hanging on that fridge as well? I have the perfect appetizer to add to that menu! Last year, I was at a cookout and my friend Leslie made this amazing dip. Not only did it taste incredible, but it looked beautiful, too. 

When I bring food to a party, I always hope it’s a giant hit. The best compliment you can get is to have someone tell you that they made the recipe that you shared with them. I was flattered that the host of a recent softball dinner party told me she made this 7-layer dip that I broughtshe in to a graduation part and it went over huge! If you choose to make this tasty dip, be prepared to have the recipe on hand because I bet someone is going to ask you for the recipe!

Seven Layer Greek Dip

1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 c. hummus
