Ciao my friends!
After a peaceful winter drive along Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, I came home craving something bright, fresh, and full of Mediterranean sunshine. Today we’re building an eleven‑layer dip that brings together creamy, crunchy, herby, and vibrant flavours — a little escape from the cold and a burst of colour on the table.
This dip is all about contrast: the snowy world outside, and the warmth of Mediterranean ingredients inside my kitchen. Layer by layer, we add creaminess, freshness, sweetness, herbs, and that beautiful briny finish from Kalamata olives. It’s simple, joyful, and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Serve it with warm toasted pita and enjoy every bite of this winter-brightening dish.
Made with Amore!
