Ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber, peeled and seeded
• Kosher salt to taste
• 2 cups 2% Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large clove garlic, finely grated
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mint or oregano
• 2 cups fresh parsley leaves, chopped, about 1 large bunch
• 1/2 cup chopped, pitted kalamata olives
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
• 2 cups chopped jarred roasted red bell peppers, about 14 ounces
• 2 cups pita chips, crushed, plus more for serving
• 2 cups prepared hummus
• 1 cup crumbled feta, about 8 ounces

Preparation

Step 1

Shred the cucumber on a box grater, toss with a large pinch of salt and let drain in a strainer for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any remaining liquid. Mix the drained cucumber with the yogurt, olive oil, garlic and mint in a medium bowl

Toss together the parsley, olives, lemon zest and scallions in a small bowl. Place the artichokes in a piece of cheesecloth or in a strainer and squeeze dry. Repeat with the peppers.

Layer the dip in a medium 3-quart clear glass trifle bowl or your favorite small serving bowl. Spread out the artichokes on the bottom, then top, in even layers, with the cucumber-yogurt mixture, peppers, pita chips, hummus, feta and the olive-herb mixture.

Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight (if refrigerating overnight then top with the olive-herb mixture right before serving). Serve with pita chips.
