Greek Layer Dip

    Cuisine:

    We loved it! Better than Mexican layer dip, its so much lighter! My quests devoured it. I made a few changes and that is solely based on personal taste, the intent of the original recipe is perfect. That said, used a 15 oz can of chickpeas-no salt added (I couldn't find 19 oz, and I like to control the salt). I processed the chickpeas, whole milk yogurt and garlic and pour it into a round ceramic pie plate, then covered and chilled for a few hours. After chilling, I tasted it and then sprinkled some sea salt, garlic-pepper blend seasoning, and some dried oregano right on top of the puree and didn't stir it, just let it sit on top (don't know if it makes a difference or not, I just didn't feel like stirring it in). used one Roma tomato and removed the seeds. My grocery store didn't have plain feta so I had to buy herb-tomato feta cheese, which turned out to be pretty good. The olives and green pepper are a must have, it just makes the dish. Also, I thinly sliced one scallion (both white and green parts, the other reviewer mention onions and her husband was right but don't over do) that I placed on top last with some freshly grounded black pepper. I took it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving--I don't like anything too cold, except for beer and ice cream of course. I served this with tortilla chips but next time (there will definitely be many next times) I will try toasted pita triangles. Yes, lining the dish with the chips (I did 3 rows--after I layered the ingredients) makes a lovely presentation. Great recipe, thanks Pixie!
