5 Layer Greek Dip

I modified a recipe from a friend who had gotten it from Pinterest. I mixed the ingredients of mine and added a light "dressing". It's fantastic and healthy!

You'll need:
1 container of storebought hummus (or if you feel like it, make your own!)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp dried dill
Salt & pepper to taste (not too much salt though!
2 cuccumbers, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 bulb of fennel, finely diced (you could use red onion instead, but it's too strong for me)
8 oz feta cheese

9x9 glass dish or a plastic container

Wish together the oil, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper in a large bowl and set aside.

Cut up your vegetables and feta cheese and add to the bowl. Stir to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.

Spread the hummus around the bottom of your dish. Add vegetable and feta mixture on top. Store with a lid in the refrigerator up to one week. It's great eaten like a salad or with warm toasted pita. Taking my friend's suggestion, I am going to use this for a week's worth of lunches.

Enjoy!
