To say I have made a few recipes and have to catch up with my posts is an understatement.  This Greek 7 Layer Dip is from one the appetizers I brought to our friend’s house for the Superbowl game 3 weeks ago. Time notwithstanding, this is a great spin on the Mexican 7 layer dip we all know.  This Greek version adds tzatziki and black olives to give it the traditional Mediterranean flare.

It is quite simple to prepare and has a lot of color.  It would be a great appetizer to make if you did not have a lot of time and still wanted to have an attractive looking dish.  The one ingredient that does take time to make is the tzatziki.  Whenever making tzatziki, the first step is to take the diced cucumbers and let them drain in a colander with some Kosher salt.  This step takes a good hour.  Otherwise, assembling this dish does not even take 5 minutes.  It would take a little more time if you made your own hummus but I used store bought hummus.
