Dishin’ With Denise… Memorial Day Mediterranean Dip

Just in time for entertaining and enjoying a long weekend… here’s a new idea on an old Greek theme. Greek salad dip! This Memorial Day~ wow your family and friends with this light, healthy and very tasty dip. Easy to prepare and goes along well with the celebration and festivities of the Holiday. My friend Maria served this at our last book club gathering with pita chips~ we scooped up every last bit!  Just Delicious! The combination of fresh vegetables and salad with a tangy dressing layered with hummus and Greek yogurt is scrumptious. Served as a dip or snack it could also be a quite satisfying meal. Here’s to a Happy Memorial Day weekend.  Remembering all that served and died in our Country’s armed services.  Hope the weather keeps you outdoors making memories! xo   Dishin’ with Denise
