How to prep ahead Greek Hummus Dip

We love recipes that can be prepped ahead! There are several steps you can complete the day or two before you plan to serve the Greek Hummus Dip. For best results, we do recommend waiting to put the dip together right before serving. Here are the steps you can complete to get a jump start on the recipe:

  • Make the yogurt sauce. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Prepare the toppings and store them individually in small airtight containers in the fridge.
  • If using homemade hummus, make the hummus and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Chop veggies you plan to serve with the dip.

Can you make Greek Hummus Dip dairy-free?

While we haven’t tested a dairy-free version of this recipe, there are just a few simple swaps you would have to make for it to be dairy-free and thus vegan-friendly as well. Use a dairy-free Greek yogurt such as Kite Hill and use a vegan cheese such as Miyokos Mozzarella or Daiya Shreds or omit the feta cheese altogether. You’ll still have all of the Greek flavors without the dairy!

  • Your favorite crackers or even organic tortilla chips
