This Layered Greek Dip Recipe is a refreshing, healthy cold appetizer that only takes 10 minutes to prepare. It's always the hit of the party (or BBQ)! Plus, it's gluten-free!

Are you already dreaming about warm summer nights, barbecuing by the pool and spending time with friends and family in the great outdoors?! I know I am, so today I'm sharing this Layered Greek Dip recipe, because is perfect cold appetizer for a crowd!
My husband loves dips, and he's always asking me me to make more of my aunt's dips (because she is the dip queen)! I remember the first time I tried this Layered Greek Dip and fell in love! I tweaked her original recipe, and am excited to share it with all of you today!

How to make Layered Greek Dip Recipe
I created the video to show you exactly how to make this Layered Greek Dip! But here are a few step-by-step photos if you prefer to have the visual on screen, and some notes about making this recipe as well!
Choose a serving dish.
I prefer using a glass dish like this to use to serve this Layered Greek Dip so you can see the layers. However you can choose your favorite dish, including a 9" round pie plate! This bowl is also a great option. It doesn't technically have to be glass, however I think using glass is a great choice because it shows off all the layers beautifully.
Mix the Cream Cheese Layer.
First, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beginning! Cold cream cheese does not mix well!
Next, I recommend using a standing mixer or hand mixer to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed in the first layer!

Remove water
It's important to remove as much water from the ingredients as possible to keep this easy Greek dip from becoming a soggy mess!
Tomatoes. In order to prevent water leaching out of the tomatoes, making this dish a soupy mess, it's important to remove the insides of the tomatoes before dicing.
Olives. Be sure to drain the Kalamata olives thoroughly for the same reason as above!

Store
To store, cover the serving dish with plastic wrap and let this Layered Greek Dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. This mediterranean dip keeps well for up to 5 days. We enjoyed leftovers on grilled chicken and it was SO yummy!
Recipe FAQs
Stored in an airtight container, this Greek dip lasts for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
I suggest not letting this dip get warm. If it sits out for a while and you notice people stop eating it, I recommend putting it back in the refrigerator.

Layered Greek Dip: Ingredients & Substitutions
As always, I recommend making this Greek dip recipe exactly as written, however there are a few possible substitutions that can be made with great results!
- Garlic powder. Minced, fresh garlic can be used in place of garlic powder!
- Onion powder. Finely diced red or yellow onion can be used in place of onion powder, however be aware it will add a little crunch to the bottom layer (which isn't bad, it's just different)!
- Kalamata olives. Any olive variety will work in this recipe. However the flavor of Kalamata olives seriously cannot be beat. They are available at just about every large grocery store!

Oh my gosh, I love that your husband's new year's resolution was to ask you to make more dips hahaha!
That being said, he was right!! This is one of my favorite dips! My grandmother makes something like this too but never uses cream cheese. Think we might have to change that next time 😉
