This Mediterranean layered dip starts with a base of whipped feta cheese and is topped with artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts. Ready in about 10 minutes, it’s the perfect party appetizer!

You’ve probably heard of Mexican layered dip, but this version is even better in my opinion! It’s got creamy cheese and plenty of savory toppings.

I don’t know about you, but I happen to love layered dips. My mom makes an awesome version of the classic mexican style seven layer dip and I’ve even seen a greek version with hummus. This mediterranean layered dip is a similar concept but with a different flavor profile. Bold flavors like feta cheese and kalamata olives create a festive and colorful appetizer that only takes about 10 minutes to put together.

How do you make Mediterranean layered dip?

The base for this dip is feta cheese that is whipped with cream cheese and a little olive oil to a light, spreadable consistency. I topped the feta with marinated artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley for a variety of flavors and textures.

    I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but I’m always searching for good dip recipes to bring when we hang out with our friends. Maybe because it’s easy to snack and move, which I do a lot of when it’s freezing out 😀 Pinning!
