1/4 cup mint, chopped
3/4 cup parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup bulgur
1 tablespoon olive oil

TZATZIKI:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

You'll need a 2-quart bowl or small trifle dish for these dips. Scoop them out with a big spoon; each dip serves about 8.

BULGUR: Bring 1/3 cup water to a boil; add 1/3 cup bulgur, season with salt and simmer over low heat, covered, until tender, 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and fluff with a fork; let cool. TZATZIKI: Combine 1/2 cup each plain Greek yogurt and diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. GRILLED VEGETABLES: Heat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. Cook eggplant and zucchini, turning until tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. Layer all ingredients in the bowl, from bottom to top, in this order: hummus, olives, grilled vegetables, tzatziki, bulgur, chopped tomato salad, and feta. Serve with pita chips.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium cucumber, peeled and seeded
Kosher salt
2 cups 2-percent Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon dried mint or oregano
2 cups fresh parsley leaves, chopped (about 1 large bunch)
1/2 cup chopped, pitted kalamata olives
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 scallions, chopped
Two 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
2 cups chopped jarred roasted red bell peppers (about 14 ounces)
2 cups crushed pita chips, plus more for serving
2 cups prepared hummus
1 cup crumbled feta (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

Shred the cucumber on a box grater, toss with a large pinch of salt and let drain in a strainer for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any remaining liquid. Mix the drained cucumber with the yogurt, olive oil, garlic and mint in a medium bowl.
Toss together the parsley, olives, lemon zest and scallions in a small bowl. Place the artichokes in a piece of cheesecloth or in a strainer and squeeze dry. Repeat with the peppers.
Layer the dip in a medium 3-quart clear glass trifle bowl or your favorite small serving bowl. Spread out the artichokes on the bottom, then top, in even layers, with the cucumber-yogurt mixture, peppers, pita chips, hummus, feta and the olive-herb mixture.
Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight (if refrigerating overnight then top with the olive-herb mixture right before serving). Serve with pita chips.
