Grab a serving bowl or platter, and we'll show you how easy it is to stack ingredients in this Mediterranean dip 7 layers high.

The cornerstone of this recipe is tzatziki sauce, which mixes and mingles with all the other ingredients.

We fell in love with a version of this tart sauce when we made baked carrot fries. It works equally well with our other healthy alternatives to chips, so make a little extra to keep in the fridge.

We'll walk through the layers of the dip I made. Then, I will overload you with endless possibilities to customize it however you desire. Looking for a Tex-Mex version? Check out the 7-layer dip by Real Balanced!

Greek Dip Layers

The ingredients and how much you use of each one is VERY flexible. We provide suggested measurements. But this dish is all about including what you love. Starting at the bottom, here are the layers we used:

1. Hummus

Hummus is the base of this dip. Buy a prepared container from the grocery store or whip up your favorite homemade version. This one is based on the 5-Minute Hummus recipe on the Real Simple website.

Low-carb Tip: Leave this ingredient out to make the dish lower in carbohydrates

2. Tzatziki Sauce

The second layer is a yogurt dill cucumber sauce a.k.a. Tzatziki sauce. It's a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and shredded cucumber. Make this first so it has time to sit for about 20 minutes before using.

Vegan Tip: Use coconut-based yogurt to make a dairy-free version.

You can usually find it in the grocery store in a pinch but the fresh version is fantastic.

The "wet" layers will mingle together and liven up all the other ingredients you pile on top.

Tip: Chop the rest of the ingredients into small pieces to make it easier to scoop out with a cracker.

3. Cucumber

Dice cucumber into quarters for the third layer. If possible go for a seedless English or Persian cucumber variety. I've used the garden variety before without any complaints.

Tip: Buy extra cucumbers to slice and have on hand as low-carb dippers.

4. Red Onion

Finely chop or thinly slice a red onion using a mandoline for the fourth layer. I love the zingy flavor and color that this type of onion provides. I've never used a white onion. But, green onion is an option. If you go that route save some of the green pieces for the very top!

5. Tomato

Next, add a layer of tomatoes to make the fifth layer. Seed and dice several plum tomatoes. Or, cut grape or cherry tomatoes in half.

6. Artichoke hearts

Buy the kind in a can that is not already marinated and chop it into small pieces to form the sixth layer.

7. Feta Cheese

Crown the top or seventh layer with crumbled feta cheese.

8. Green Onion

If you used green onion for layer four, then top it off with some of the green segments!
