Instructions

  • Make the Tzatziki: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced cucumber, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Mix until smooth. Adjust seasoning with more dill or salt if needed.

  • Make the Hummus: In a food processor, combine garbanzo beans, reserved garbanzo liquid, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Process until smooth, adding more liquid for creaminess.

  • Assemble the Dip: Layer tzatziki at the bottom of a serving dish. Add hummus on top, followed by diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions.

Notes

This dip can be made a day in advance for enhanced flavor.

To make it vegan, swap out the cream cheese for a vegan alternative and use dairy-free feta.

Adjust the garlic or add chili flakes for extra spice.
