"Healthified" Greek Layered Dip

What is "Healthified"?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Substitution

You can substitute any kind of olive you like. Why not scout the olive bar at your grocery store and pick out a new variety?

Special Touch

For a different flavor twist, look for hummus with added ingredients, such as roasted garlic.
