Steps:
- Mix yogurt, cream cheese and first 4 dried spices until well blended. Spread dip in shallow glass casserole dish or pie plate. Cover and let sit in refrigerator for a few hours if you can.
- Carefully open the pita breads and cut into triangles, and place on two baking sheets spraying both sides with olive oil spray (or brush a small amt on each one) and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt. If the pita bread will not separate, then just cut them into the wedges and brush a small amount of olive oil onto each side instead of using the olive oil spray. Bake at 350 until just starting to brown on edges, about 10 minutes or so.
- Peel and seed the cucumber (seed it by cutting lengthwise and running a spoon along the center). Chop finely and layer on top of dip. Follow with diced tomatoes, black olives, pepperoncinis and feta cheese. Top with chopped parsley if desired.

Steps:
- First, strain the yogurt by putting cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter in the bottom of a strainer and pour in all the yogurt but 1/4 cup (reserve for later); let it strain for a couple of hours to thicken it up, or overnight (in the fridge) to make thicker "yogurt cheese" (I prefer it just for a couple of hours; you could also substitute sour cream for the yogurt, if you like).
- Combine the reserved 1/4 cup of un-strained yogurt with the prepared hummus, then spread mixture on the bottom of a 9 inch pie dish.
- Combine remaining strained yogurt and cumin and spread over the hummus layer.
- Toss together the garlic powder, salt, lemon/lime juice, chopped tomatoes, and avocado, then spread over the yogurt layer.
- Add a layer of the cucumbers and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Add a layer of feta, then finish it all off with olives.
- Let chill for an hour before serving with pita chips (artichoke hearts are a good addition to this recipe, as well.).
