A few weeks ago my mother in law sent me this wonderful recipe. I finally had the chance to try it out last weekend at my parents annual BBQ. I hope you all will give it a try. It's a wonderful and healthy alternative to the usual pinto bean dip.
Mediterranean Layered Salad or Dip
1 (7 oz. or larger) container of hummus (she likes the Sabra hummus with the sun-dried tomatoes and I used the roasted red pepper hummus)
1 Cup coarsely chopped baby spinach (I rolled the leaves and sliced them into ribbons)
1/2 Cup fresh diced tomatoes
1/2 Cup cucumber (English cucumbers are less wet, have less seeds and the skin can be used)
1/4 Cup red onion, or sweet onion, like Walla Walla
1/4 Cup Feta Cheese crumbles
2 Tbls. Sliced Kalamata olives
Spread hummus and then simply sprinkle all ingredients on top. Can be made ahead of time and the sprinkle tomatoes on top. You can use pita chips, unflavored tortilla chips or veggies to scoop. Be creative.

That looks so yummy!!! I can't wait to have feta again!
I'd love to try since I love almost everything in it. I'm scared of hummus though. I've never tried it, I can't bring myself to do it. I don't know if it's the name or the way it looks that puts me off. Any tips on how to lightly dive into the world of hummus?
Hummus is one of my most favorite things to eat!!! This looks really easy too!
Love feta, tomatoes and kalamata olives... so I'm pretty sure I'd love this!
