Instructions
Cucumber - Tomato Mix
- Dice one half of the cucumber and add to a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, 2 tablespoons, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, and half of the oregano. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. **Cover and set aside until ready to use.
Tzatziki Sauce

Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
Assembly
- Spread the roasted garlic hummus into a uniform layer on small serving platter (or in an 8” x 8” casserole dish). On top of the creamy hummus layer add an even layer of the Greek yogurt mixture.
- Use a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid from the seasoned tomato, red onion, and cucumber mixture before spreading on top of the Tzatziki sauce.
- Add the Kalamata olives, followed by the crumbled Feta and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with vegetable crudités, pita bread or pita chips for dipping. Enjoy!
