How to Build a Beautiful Mezze Platter in Five Minutes

Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit Looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer that feels fancy but comes together in minutes? A mezze platter is your answer. With just a few store-bought staples — think a block of feta and a tub of hummus — you can create a stunning spread perfect for entertaining or an elevated afternoon snack. Here's how to pull it off with minimal prep and maximum flavor. Pin Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients Start with a large serving tray or charcuterie board. Then, assemble your items — most of which you can grab ready-to-go from the grocery store. Sliced sourdough or baguette Crackers (Go for a mix of shapes and textures. I love Simple Mills gluten-free crackers!) Pre-cut veggies like celery and carrots Hummus (Use classic or flavored, like roasted red pepper. I love Ithaca x Graza Hummus because it is made with olive oil instead of seed oils.) Feta block (I use Violife Vegan Feta, but if using regular feta, opt for sheep's milk in brine.) Marinated olives Cherry tomatoes Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) Olive oil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and black pepper Fresh parsley and optional edible flowers for garnish Step 2: Style the Feta Place the block of feta on a small square dish or plate and set it at the center of your board. Sprinkle it with dried oregano and black pepper, then drizzle olive oil over the top for an herby, marinated effect. Step 3: Elevate the Hummus Spoon the hummus into two small bowls and position them on opposite corners of the tray. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of each, then sprinkle in some smoked paprika. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil into the well. Step 4: Build the Board Now for the fun part! Stack wedges of sourdough in small clusters throughout the board, then tuck crackers around them for variety. Cut the dolmades in half diagonally and lay them around the feta for a polished look. Fill in gaps with marinated olives and cherry tomatoes. Nestle the pre-cut celery and carrots into the remaining spaces, placing some of the veggies in the bowls of hummus. Step 5: Finish with Garnish Sprinkle chopped parsley over the feta and hummus for a pop of color. If you have edible flowers, place a few across the board for an extra-lovely touch. Optional Add-Ons Feel free to add roasted nuts, sliced bell peppers, or even some fresh fruit like grapes or figs. Make it your own! Pin Five-Minute Mezze Platter This easy, five-minute plant-based mezze platter is perfect for entertaining. Using store-bought staples like feta, hummus, pre-cut veggies, and marinated olives, you can quickly create a beautiful, Mediterranean-inspired spread.
