With Memorial Day weekend coming up, I thought I would share with you a family favorite - The Greek Layered Dip. It’s a great recipe for a large crowd. Every time I make this I get asked for the recipe. There are thousands of Greek layered dip recipes on the web but this one is my favorite. It’s full of fresh and flavorful ingredients just perfect for warm weather entertaining.
