1st Layer: Chopped Artichokes
To start, place two 14-ounce cans artichokes, coarsely chopped, in a piece of cheesecloth or in a strainer and squeeze dry. (You'll want to repeat this process with the roasted red bell peppers.) Spread the artichokes on the bottom of a medium, 3-quart, clear-glass trifle bowl.
2nd Layer: Cucumber-Yogurt Mixture
To make this mixture, shred 1 medium cucumber, peeled and seeded, with a box grater, toss with a large pinch of salt and let drain in a strainer for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any remaining liquid. Mix the drained cucumber with 2 cups 2-percent Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 large clove garlic, finely grated, and 1/2 teaspoon dried mint in a medium bowl.
3rd Layer: Roasted Red Bell Peppers
Add 2 cups chopped, jarred roasted red bell peppers (about 14 ounces), strained and squeezed dry.
4th Layer: Crushed Pita Chips
Add 2 cups crushed pita chips.
5th Layer: Hummus
Spread 2 cups prepared hummus evenly on top of the crushed pita chips.
6th Layer: Crumbled Feta
Crumble 1 cup feta (about 8 ounces) on top of the hummus.
7th Layer: Olive-Herb Mixture
To make the olive-herb mixture, toss together 2 cups fresh parsley leaves, chopped, 1/2 cup chopped, pitted kalamata olives, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 4 scallions, chopped, in a small bowl. Add this mixture on top, cover the dip and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight (if refrigerating overnight, don't top with the olive-herb mixture until you're ready to eat). Serve with pita chips and enjoy!
