This Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip recipe rights a wrong for me. I’ll admit it. It wasn’t love at first bite when I first dipped into the traditional southwestern 7-layer dip. The culprit was the refried beans. It probably didn’t help that my initiation into the world of refried beans was during my first (and ONLY!) late-night/beer-soaked trip to Taco Bell in college. I was lured in by the dulcet tones of that darn talking Chihuahua.

With Super Bowl Sunday coming up (and the need for healthy game day recipes), I wanted a dip that I could throw together in 15 minutes or less, and that would make me forget that ill-advised drive-thru adventure. So, why not replace the refried beans with hummus, the sour cream with nonfat Greek yogurt and make a shift to Mediterranean flavors? Take out the guacamole, salsa and Monterey jack, and layer in artichokes, roasted peppers (see How to Roast a Bell Pepper) and feta cheese in their place.

Of course, you can layer the ingredients any which way you please, or substitute in other ingredients, such as kalamata olives or sundried tomatoes. Serve the Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip recipe with raw vegetables, pita chips or lentil chips.

Don’t you dare tell your beer-swilling Super Bowl guests that this dip is healthy. They’ll never know the difference!

Serve it with other finger foods, such as mini cream cheese egg rolls and cucumber shrimp appetizers.

The Mediterranean 7-layer dip recipe:

In an 8- by 8- square serving dish, spread the hummus evenly on the bottom. Layer the tomatoes and cucumber over top.

    This caught my eye on Pinterest. The red & green would make it a lovely Christmas appetizer. I've been trying to figure out what else to serve with the lasagne.
    My thoughts on the ingredients: With the cucumber and yogurt, you're half way to Tzatziki. I'm taking it the rest of the way & maybe add zucchini. theWanderLustKitchen has a great recipe for Authentic Greek Tzatziki. I think I will replace the yogurt layer with that. Time to go shopping..

    I'm looking for an app that is Dairy Free . DO you think I could omit or swap out the yogurt for a non dairy soy yogurt? I'm afraid it might be runny or lose the flavor. Suggestions? Thanks
