## Ingredients + Substitutions
– **Prepared hummus**– I use a 10 oz container of store-bought hummus. Opt for the regular or original flavor to avoid too many conflicting seasonings in the dip.
– **Prepared tzatziki**– You can locate tzatziki dip near the hummus in most grocery stores. They usually come in 10 oz containers, and I used about half of it. If you prefer homemade or can’t find it, making tzatziki at home is quite simple. Check out this recipe for homemade tzatziki.
– **Roma tomatoes, chopped**– For dips, I prefer chopping these quite small, around 1/4″ pieces. To speed up the chopping process, use a sharp serrated knife, cut off one end of the tomato to make it flat, then cut both ways (making a grid), and finally, chop through to dice. This method makes tomato chopping much quicker and easier; just ensure you’re using a serrated knife for easy cutting.
– **Cucumber, chopped**– Cut the cucumber into pieces roughly equal in size to the tomatoes.
– **Peperoncini peppers, sliced**– These are typically found near olives or in the ethnic food aisle of grocery stores. If you can’t find pre-sliced ones, slicing whole peppers will only take a minute or two to prepare the amount required.
– **Kalamata olives, sliced**– I personally halved mine since I’m not a huge fan of olives. This way, it’s easier to avoid them if desired. To make them more bite-sized, you can chop or slice them.
– **Green onions, chopped**– Ensure these are finely chopped to prevent an overpowering onion flavor. When chopped small, they blend harmoniously with the dip.
Recipe Step by Step
On a flat platter or plate, spread the entire hummus container in a thin layer. It will be about 1/2″ thick once spread. Repeat with the tzatziki layer.
Layer the tomatoes, cucumbers, and peperoncini peppers on top. Adjust the amounts based on your preference.
To complete the dish, garnish it with olives, green onions, and feta cheese, leaving a small border for each layer. The dip should then be chilled for up to 3 hours before serving.
