Everyone appreciates a good dip. There are endless recipes out there of some amazing party dips. Layered dips are usually a crowd pleaser, and there are many variations. I love to create layered dips with meditterean flavors. Using Greek inspired ingredients always turns out to be a crowd pleaser. I love how all the flavors are so fresh tasting while also being on the healthier side. For being a dip that is light, fresh and simple, it sure is packed with tremendous tastiness!
