Growing Pains + Contest Winners Weekend Getaway to Santa Cruz & Monterey, Part I

I made this quick and easy layer dip for my last day of work at Stanford.  While there, I lived in the graduate dorms and had no supplies to bake anything sweet.  As much as I brainstormed ways to make cupcakes or even cookies, I couldn’t do anything without mixing bowls, baking pans, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla, cookie sheets, muffin tins…you get the point.  Annie from Annie’s Eats posted a much more involved version of this recipe.  I simplified it by using pre-dried tomatoes instead of buying my own and by buying pesto instead of making it from scratch.

The recipe was a huge hit.  One of the docs I work with actually took out some scratch paper and wrote down all of the ingredients so he could share it with his wife!

 

INGREDIENTS

To assemble the dip:
Hummus
Pesto
Cucumber, seeded and diced
Sliced olives (black or Kalamata)
Crumbled feta cheese
Sun-dried tomatoes


DIRECTIONS

  1. Spread a layer of hummus over a 12 inch serving platter.
  2. Spread the pesto over the hummus
  3. Sprinkle over the cucumber, olives, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes
  4. Serve with pita chips
