Layered Greek Dip

I really love the flavors of Greek food and this dip has them all. I was pleasantly surprised that so many people enjoyed this dip at the party I went to. It is fresh tasting and the cucumbers and tomatoes add a nice crunch. I made this dish using fresh local organic tomatoes, and they were incredible. I've been so happy with the recipes I've been making lately. I need to make sure to take pictures so that you'll have something see and salivate over.
