This was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and eggplant that were about to go bad, and they were perfect for this dip.

I'm not usually a fan of Mediterranean food, but this dip changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced and the textures were perfect.

The combination of hummus, tzatziki, and baba ganoush was divine. The pita chips were the perfect accompaniment - crispy and flavorful.
