Make-Ahead Tips
You can definitely make this dip ahead of time. I usually make it a few hours in advance and then keep it covered in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it.
I’ve also prepped the ingredients separately ahead of time (i.e. chopped the veggies, mixed the cream cheese and crumbled the feta) and then quickly assembled the dip right before guests arrive.
What do I do with leftovers?
1) Mix a few scoops of the dip with chopped romaine lettuce for a Greek-inspired salad. Top with additional cucumbers, tomatoes and/or olives.
2) Stir together the leftover dip and spoon it into tortillas. Roll them up, refrigerate for 30 minutes and then slice into pinwheels.
