Do you have favorite appetizer dip recipes?  I do! My Mediterranean Layered Spread Recipe always tops my list of most popular of Mediterranean appetizer recipes. This simple Mediterranean humus dip recipe rounds out the menu no matter what else you are serving.Best of all, you’re eating healthy and it’s a vegetarian dip. Sometimes, it is challenging to find a really spectacular vegetarian dip recipe.  My Greek Seven Layered Dip includes layers of cream cheese, hummus and fresh vegetables. Move over Tex Mex Dip! My Mediterranean Hummus Dip recipe from KITCHEN 101 is the best! I start with pre-made hummus and that simplifies the recipe!  Why make hummus when you can buy pre-made hummus in the store?  The fresh ingredient layers make a colorful showstopper presentation on top the hummus and cream cheese layers. A winning combination!

Doesn’t get much better that this stunning and stupendous Greek layered spread.  It is quick, easy and healthy.  You can serve this Mediterranean Layered Spread Recipe as an appetizer, side or planned snack. It is my go-to, make-ahead guaranteed hit.
