Ingredients

To recreate this Mediterranean Mezze Board, you’ll need:

• Hummus – 1 cup, drizzled with olive oil

• Tzatziki – 1 cup, garnished with fresh parsley

• Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) – 10–12 pieces

• Marinated olives – 1 cup, served in a small bowl

• Feta cheese – 1 cup, cut into cubes

• Grilled pita bread – 4–6 rounds, cut into wedges

• Falafel balls – 10–12 pieces

• Roasted red peppers – ½ cup, sliced

• Cucumbers – 1 large, sliced into rounds

• Cherry tomatoes – 1 pint

• Fresh herbs – Parsley and mint for garnish

How to Build It

1. Start with the dips: Place the hummus and tzatziki in small ceramic bowls and set them apart on the board to anchor the layout. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a herb garnish for that extra touch.

2. Add your proteins and cheese: Arrange falafel balls in small clusters, followed by neat piles of dolmas and cubes of feta.

3. Layer in the veggies: Alternate rows of cucumber slices, roasted red peppers, and cherry tomatoes to add color and texture around the board.

4. Fill in with pita and olives: Fan out the grilled pita wedges near the dips for easy scooping. Place the olives in a separate small bowl to keep their brine contained.

5. Finish with herbs: Tuck in fresh parsley and mint sprigs throughout the board for a burst of green and fragrance.

Serving Tips

• Drizzle the falafel with a little tahini or lemon juice just before serving for extra flavor.

• Pair this board with crisp white wine, sparkling water, or iced mint tea.

• Make it ahead: Prep all ingredients in advance and assemble just before your guests arrive.
