Meet the dip that’s about to be the talking point at your next summer get-together. It’s a Mediterranean twist on the classic, layered with beans, spiced lamb, roasted eggplant, creamy labne, Shooka Sauce, salty feta, fresh herbs, and briny olives. Best served outdoors with friends, pita, and something cold to drink. 🫓☀️
The best part? It’s made for sharing. Set it on the table with chips, or crunchy veggies and watch it disappear fast. Whether you’re in the backyard, at the park, or hosting a casual dinner outside, this dish brings everyone together.

Why we love this dip: the best summer meals are the ones you set in the middle of the table and let everyone dig into together. This dip is one of those recipes. It’s layered, colorful, and packed with flavor, the kind of dish that feels casual enough for a backyard hang but special enough to impress a crowd. I love making it when I want something hearty, fresh, and shareable that still feels easy.
