Individual 7 Layer Greek Dip Jars

As much as I love appetizers, I don’t think I’ve ever posted a real “layer” dip.

This is not a sponsored post, but I have to throw in that a few weeks ago I was sent a goodie box by Ball with different sized canning jars, herb scissors, herb frozen starters and – my favorite -these cute little dry herb jars. The tops have a flip open lid for shaking, which I love. Now I want to spend an obscene amount of time making up spice mixtures.

I might be kinda obsessed. I just want to make errrythang in mini size so I can use the precious little things.

Yes.

Errrythang.

Today it hit me to use them as individual dip servers. How flippin’ cute is that.

So, y’all know that I LOVE Greek and Mediterranean food. If not – Here’s just a few examples – Greek Black Eyed Pea SalsaGreek Spinach Dip (one of my faves) and Greek Chicken with Tzaziki.

I have made Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) in the past but I want to improve them. They were good – but not as good as I want them to be. I’ve had some fantastic ones in the past, so I know the potential. Apparently there’s something missing that I can’t quite figure out yet. I’ll keep you posted.

My little pots are layered with black bean hummus, whipped lemon feta (the idea came to me in a moment of food craziness, but trust me it’s good stuff), artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, Kalamata olives and Tzaziki.

Here’s your printable –
