Well summer is in full force here and we love it. Not only is it here but we are fully prepared to love every minute of it! What is your favorite summer activity? We love to boat and fish, go to the pool (we are surrounded by a lot of great ones) and spend time at some of the national parks. Missouri is such a beautiful state. We have some absolutely beautiful parks filled with lakes, rivers and majestic tall trees. We also love to have friends and family over for cocktails and appetizers. Entertaining is just so much fun. Have you tried any of my delicious appetizers? Pepper Jack Chicken Cream Cheese Wontons, Herb Cream Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes and Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms are some of my favorites.
This beautiful Easy 7 Layer Greek Tzatziki Dip is amazing. It is one of my newest recipes but it is quickly becoming a family favorite. It is layered with hummus, tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives, red onions and feta cheese. It is a show stopper and tastes amazing!! Serve it with pita chips to stay with the Greek theme.
Are you entertaining this summer? Easy 7 Layer Greek Tzatziki Dip can be so much fun!! We have a nice patio that is surrounded by woods so by early evening (5:00ish) it is fully in the shade and lately it has been cool enough to start a fire in the pit. I bought a real nice patio set last summer from Costco and it is so comfortable. In fact in just a couple of minutes I am going to finish this post out there with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio wine and the Easy 7 Layer Greek Tzatziki Dip. Time to kick it up. We don’t have any company coming over this evening but the 4th of July is approaching fast and it will be my son’s birthday so I feel a party coming on!!
Put this delicious show stopper on your list. Enough said!

Made this the afternoon before serving it next day at lunch. The flavor was great but it weeped a lot of water which made the hummus pretty runny. I did the salting of the cucumbers to “sweat” them and dried them thouroughly for the sauce. However, it didn’t say to do that for the chopped cucumber layer. Should I have done it to them too? Wondering if that’s why it was so watery.
