Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt with the entire packet of ranch seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly until the seasoning is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Prepare your vegetables by washing and dicing cucumbers and tomatoes into small, uniform pieces approximately 1/4 inch in size. Slice black olives thinly and set aside.
- Select a clear glass serving dish or a wide, shallow bowl that allows the layers to be visible. This will create an attractive presentation of the dip.
- Begin layering the dip by spreading the ranch-seasoned Greek yogurt as the first base layer, ensuring an even and smooth surface across the bottom of the dish.
- Carefully add the diced cucumbers as the next layer, distributing them evenly over the yogurt base.
- Follow with a layer of diced tomatoes, creating a colorful contrast to the cucumbers.
- Sprinkle sliced black olives over the tomato layer, providing additional texture and flavor.
- Generously crumble feta cheese across the top of the olives, covering the surface.
- Drizzle olive oil evenly over the entire dip to enhance moisture and add richness.
- Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley, which will add a bright green color and fresh herb flavor.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together. Serve chilled with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Tips
- Chill for Flavor: Allow the dip to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the flavors meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Layer Smart: Use a clear glass dish to showcase the colorful layers of your dip. This not only makes for an attractive presentation but also invites guests to dig in!
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to mix and match vegetables based on your preferences. Bell peppers, red onions, or even avocados can add unique flavors and textures.
- Make It Ahead: This dip can be prepared a day in advance. Just cover it tightly and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve—perfect for stress-free entertaining!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair the dip with an array of dippers like pita chips, crunchy crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for a delightful snacking experience.
