Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces low fat soft cream cheese (sometimes I use 12 oz if I want a thicker dip)
8 ounces plain yogurt, Greek yogurt is the best
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tomatoes, chopped
5 pepperoncini peppers, sliced
1/2 cup sliced kalamata olive, pitted and sliced
1 medium cucumber, seeded and diced
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped fresh curly-leaf parsley
5 pita bread rounds, opened and cut into triangles
olive oil flavored cooking spray
garlic salt

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt, cream cheese and first 4 dried spices until well blended. Spread dip in shallow glass casserole dish or pie plate. Cover and let sit in refrigerator for a few hours if you can.
  • Carefully open the pita breads and cut into triangles, and place on two baking sheets spraying both sides with olive oil spray (or brush a small amt on each one) and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt. If the pita bread will not separate, then just cut them into the wedges and brush a small amount of olive oil onto each side instead of using the olive oil spray. Bake at 350 until just starting to brown on edges, about 10 minutes or so.
  • Peel and seed the cucumber (seed it by cutting lengthwise and running a spoon along the center). Chop finely and layer on top of dip. Follow with diced tomatoes, black olives, pepperoncinis and feta cheese. Top with chopped parsley if desired.
