A layered feta and cream-cheese dip topped with fresh vegetables and served with pita — a family recipe explicitly credited "From Mom" on the card.
Ingredients
Dip: - 2 pkg cream cheese (8 oz each) - feta cheese (6–8 oz) - 1/4 cup sour cream - 1 tsp oregano (scant) - 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper - 1 large clove garlic
Topping: - 1 small tomato, finely chopped - 2 green onions - 1/2 small cucumber, seeded, chopped (skin on) - 1/2 green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Serving/garnish: - black olives - miniature pitas
Method
Combine dip ingredients. Spread on a platter. Sprinkle the chopped toppings over the dip. Ring the platter with olive halves. Serve with pita triangles.
Notes on the artifact
Blue-lined index card with a decorative side border (blue/lilac/teal stripe, mustard-yellow accent, hand-drawn blue swirls); card stock printed "Hallmark Cards, Inc." in the bottom-right corner (the blank stock's manufacturer, not the recipe's source). The card's "Time required" and "Serves" fields are left blank; "Preheat oven @" is blank because no oven step is needed. At the bottom, "Can be made ahead" is checked yes; "Can be frozen" is marked no, with a handwritten note "minus toppings" — implying the dip base can be frozen without the fresh vegetable toppings. Attribution line at the bottom reads: From "Mom."
