Directions

To make Tzaziki:

  1. Optional: For a thicker tzaziki, put the yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined colander. Fold cheesecloth to cover yogurt, perch colander on a large bowl and chill up to 12 hours.
  2. Place diced cucumber in a colander (on a deep plate), sprinkle with salt and let sit 30 minutes. Stir to drain well and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a blender, combine drained cucumbers, garlic, lemon, herbs, salt and pepper. Blend well, then mix with yogurt. Adjust seasoning. Chill 1-2 hours before using.

To make Avocado:

 

  1. Coat avocado in lemon juice to avoid browning. Season with herbs and spices to taste.

 

To assemble:

 

  1. In a transparent medium bowl for effect or large serving plate for convenience, spread hummus on bottom.
  2. Top with successive layers of avocado, diced red peppers and tzaziki.
  3. Over the top, arrange tomato, cucumber, feta and olives. Sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
