This Mediterranean Layered Dip is a delightful and flavorful appetizer perfect for any gathering.
Strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth-lined strainer for a couple of hours to thicken it.
Straining the yogurt removes excess liquid, making it creamier and more suitable for dips.
Mix the strained yogurt with cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste for a personalized flavor.
Spread the seasoned yogurt evenly on the bottom of a pie dish.
Use a spatula to ensure an even layer for a neat presentation.
Combine the chopped tomato, diced avocado, and sliced cucumber with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Layer the vegetable mixture over the yogurt base.
Spread the vegetables evenly for a balanced bite in every scoop.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives on top.
For a burst of flavor, use high-quality feta and olives.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
