Greek Nachos
January is finally almost over. I’m not sure why, but it always feels like it’s about 8 weeks long. This year, there were a lot of external factors that made it seem even longer to me. With that being said, at least there’s less sthan 2 months until Spring, and the days are getting longer.
February is on our doorstep, which to many people means Super Bowl parties! And we can all agree that the food is often way more important than who’s actually playing in the game.
These Greek Nachos are a fun play on a game day favorite. They’ve ot all your favorite Mediterranean flavors, and are completely customizable. You can use any type of hummus, add in or subtract toppings, and use pita chips or actual pita (like I did). No matter what toppings and chips you use, my Greek Nachos will be a fun new addition to your game day table.
Greek Nachos
Serves approximately 8.
Ingredients:
1 C Unflavored Greek Yogurt
1/2 Tbl Mediterranean Seasoning (or Herbes de Provence)
1 T Lemon Juice
8 oz Container of Hummus (I used Spicy)
3/4 C Cherry Tomatoes, halved
3/4 C Cucumbers, diced
15 oz Can Chickpeas
1/2 C Feta, crumbled
2 Tbl Fresh Parsley, chopped
Kalamata Olives, for garnish
1 Box Pita Chips or 3-4 Pita Bread, cut into triangles
Optional:
8 oz Container Eggplant Dip
Directions:
Combine the Greek Yogurt, Seasoning, and Lemon Juice together in a bowl.
Spread the Hummus on a large platter or plate, and top it with the Yogurt. You can leave a border of Hummus showing, if you like, or layer it right on top.
Scatter the Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Chick Peas and Feta on top of the Yogurt & Hummus.
Garnish with Parsley & Olives. Add optional Eggplant Dip to the platter, if desired.
Serve with Pita/Pita Chips.
Notes:
I layered the Hummus underneath the Yogurt for my Nachos. Feel free to layer it anyway you want, or scoop the Hummus, Yogurt, and option Eggplant Dip directly onto your platter or in bowls.
I used a can of Chickpeas. If you’re cooking your own, use about 1- 1 1/2 cups of cooked Chickpeas.
I used actual Pita Bread, cut into triangles. You can toasted them in the oven, coated with olive oil and salt if you’d like, or you can use Pita Chips or Crackers.
