Description

A vibrant Mediterranean platter featuring a variety of dips, cheeses, and vegetables for a delightful party spread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whipped feta
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 cup romesco sauce
  • 1 tzatziki sauce
  • 1 olive tapenade
  • 1 toum garlic dip
  • 8 ounces feta cubes (marinated)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella pearls
  • 1 cup kalamata olives (or your favorite olive blend)
  • 1 cup peppadew peppers
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup marinated artichokes
  • 1 cup dolmas
  • 1 cup crispy chickpeas
  • 1 English cucumber (sliced on the bias)
  • 2 cups grapes
  • 58 whole carrots (sliced, as needed)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup figs
  • 8 mini pita bread (quartered)
  • 1 batch Falafel
  • 1 batch Crostini

Instructions

  1. Start by placing any items that will be in bowls on the board, in a spread-out triangle shape. You can also spread the dips directly on the platter.
  2. Next, add the next larger items around the board, like the falafel, whole carrots, grape bunches, cucumber slices, cheese, pita bread, etc.
  3. Continue to fill in smaller remaining spaces with smaller items like berries, nuts, olives, etc. Place them sporadically around the board for the most interest.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley as desired. Feel free to place any additional items in bowls around the board.
  5. Don’t put everything out at once! This will overwhelm the board. Instead, keep the extras in a convenient place so you can continue to replenish the board as time goes on.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences and availability.
  • Using a variety of colors and textures will enhance the visual appeal of your platter.
