7(ish?)-Layer Greek Dip

Hubba hubba. This is scrumptious. Why didn't I think of this myself? It's a riff on the more traditional 7-layer Mexican dip. I think I like this one better. (Heresy, I know.)

Ingredients:
8 oz. block cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese
1 tsp. dried dill weed
2 tsp. lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 c. (12 oz.) hummus (can be store purchased or homemade)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
3 med. tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 c. chopped kalamata olives
1/3 c. chopped green onions (about 3 full green onion stalks)
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
1/8–1/4 c. chopped flat leaf Italian parsley

Directions:
With an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese, dill weed, lemon juice, and garlic. Spread this layer in the bottom of a pie dish or a half-sheet pan. Spread the hummus layer next. In order, layer on the cucumber, tomatoes, kalamata olives, green onions, feta, and parsley. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. Serve with pita chips, pita bread, or even tortilla chips. Enjoy!
