Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce package pita bread
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 16-ounce container prepared hummus
- 1 1/2 cups tzatziki (gyro sauce)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 2 medium roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 diced red onion
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 4-ounce container crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 1 or 2 baking sheets with foil. Cut the pita rounds into eighths. Split each piece in two and place on the prepared baking sheet(s), with the inside of the bread facing up. Spray with the olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the Greek seasoning. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown the ground lamb with the garlic salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning. Drain and set aside. In a shallow 1 1/2-quart dish, spread the hummus on the bottom. Top with a layer of ground lamb, then the tzatziki. Layer with the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, olives and feta. Serve the dip at room temperature with pita chips.

Great!
This was excellent. Could be a meal in itself. I purchased the pita chips instead of making them.
This recipe is the hit of any party. I love it sooooo much!
I make this every Greek Easter, Its a big hit.
Forget the dip – put in a wrap! I fixed this for Christmas and it was a huge hit, but the entire time we were eating it, all I could thing about was throwing this in a wrap for a great Greek wrap. Fixed it for lunch yesterday and it was amazing. Already making a list for the ingredients to make more. The last time I made this I used hamburger due to someone who didn’t like lamb – I just threw in oregano and some lemon garlic seasoning and it was great!
I love this dish! It is my “go to” dish when I need to bring something. I serve it as a salad bar. That way folks can include the ingredients they like. I make sure I include the pita chips to go along with it. They are so light and delicious. I used Ina Garten’s recipe for the Tzatziki Sauce. It is authentic and easy to make. I also used hamburger seasoned with the Greek seasoning instead of ground lamb. I have too many friends who don’t like lamb – their loss. Thank you, Sandra, for a great recipe!
Made this as a Christmas Day appetizer, and everyone, including the host and hostess, raved about it. The host enjoyed it so much he barely had room for any of the pork tenderloin he worked so hard on! I will totally make this again. It took a bit of time to get all the ingredients chopped up/prepared, but it’s not difficult. I ended up putting everything in separate containers and prepared it at our friend’s house. My husband even scarfed down the little that was left the next day.
Excellent dip. I actually made it and layered it like nachos. DELICIOUS!
Amazing dip-served for company last Saturday and they ate the whole thing (I can’t believe anyone had room for dinner. They raved about how delicious it was. I made my own hummus and sauce so I could adjust seasonings. Really liked it. Would be great at a meal while watching football, etc.
Outstanding! I’ve brought this to 3 parties with different types of crowds and it is by far a standout! So tasty and simple!!
