To get the most out of this multilayered snack, focus on its architecture
The worst thing that can happen when digging into a layered dip — which is typically built in a deep bowl that showcases all the layers — is losing your chip in the dip. For this recipe, we rethought the architecture a bit and chose to build our dip on a platter. By layering store-bought hummus, rich Greek yogurt, and a mixture of Greek salad vegetables, olives and herbs, we formed a foolproof way to enjoy the dip — even at the fanciest of parties.
