Notes
- Any shallow dish works well to assemble this dip including an oval gratin dish, pie plate, 8 x 8 or 11 x 7 baking dish, or a large serving platter.
- This dip makes a great make-ahead appetizer; prepare a few hours in advance and keep chilled until serving.
- Prep components ahead of time by chopping vegetables and crumbling feta, then assemble just before guests arrive for freshness.
- Leftover dip can be mixed with chopped romaine lettuce to make a Greek-inspired salad topped with extra cucumber, tomato, and olives.
- Alternatively, stir leftover dip into tortillas, roll them up, refrigerate for 30 minutes, then slice into delicious pinwheels.
