Photo: Greek Layered Dip With Pita Chips Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce package pita bread
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 16-ounce container prepared hummus
- 1 1/2 cups tzatziki (gyro sauce)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 2 medium roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 diced red onion
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 4-ounce container crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 1 or 2 baking sheets with foil. Cut the pita rounds into eighths. Split each piece in two and place on the prepared baking sheet(s), with the inside of the bread facing up. Spray with the olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the Greek seasoning. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown the ground lamb with the garlic salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning. Drain and set aside. In a shallow 1 1/2-quart dish, spread the hummus on the bottom. Top with a layer of ground lamb, then the tzatziki. Layer with the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, olives and feta. Serve the dip at room temperature with pita chips.

I love this dish! It is my "go to" dish when I need to bring something. I serve it as a salad bar. That way folks can include the ingredients they like. I make sure I include the pita chips to go along with it. They are so light and delicious. I used Ina Garten's recipe for the Tzatziki Sauce. It is authentic and easy to make. I also used hamburger seasoned with the Greek seasoning instead of ground lamb. I have too many friends who don't like lamb - their loss. Thank you, Sandra, for a great recipe!

Made this as a Christmas Day appetizer, and everyone, including the host and hostess, raved about it. The host enjoyed it so much he barely had room for any of the pork tenderloin he worked so hard on! I will totally make this again. It took a bit of time to get all the ingredients chopped up/prepared, but it's not difficult. I ended up putting everything in separate containers and prepared it at our friend's house. My husband even scarfed down the little that was left the next day.
