It all starts with a layer of hummus, followed by homemade whipped feta, chopped tomatoes and cucumbers and artichoke hearts and red onions and Kalamata olives. Sprinkled with a bit of black pepper and extra feta cheese and you have a very simple, easy to make (and make-ahead!) 7-layer Mediterranean dip. Serve alongside your favorite gluten free crackers or pita chips.
It feels like I’m on a constant quest to find a fun, new, easy-to-make appetizer. This 7-layer Mediterranean dip certainly fits the requirements! I love the layers of colors with fresh veggies and Greek-inspired tastes. The whipped feta is unique and adds a nice creaminess alongside the hummus.
How to layer the 7-layer Mediterranean dip
Begin by spreading an 8 oz. container of hummus on a plate. Gently spread the whipped hummus on top as to not mush out the hummus. Next, add your tomatoes, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives and red onion – there is no right or wrong way to layer them. You can lightly sprinkle coarse ground black pepper on top, followed with a few chunks of feta cheese. Add your favorite gluten free crackers and you’re ready to dip!

Gluten Free Cracker Options
I used Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt crackers for this 7-layer Mediterranean dip. I find Milton’s gluten free crackers are fairly easy to find these days, especially in larger packages at Costco and Sam’s Club.
Simple Mills also makes a gluten free pita cracker with sea salt or Mediterranean herb that would be an excellent option.

The primary base is made of goat cheese and is topped with fresh tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar.
How to make ahead
You can easily make this dip a few hours in advance, especially if you de-seed and discard tomato juices. Loosely cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
