Mediterranean Mezze Platter Recipe

A Mediterranean Mezza platter is a collection of fresh and inviting small plates often served as a hearty appetizer or a light meal.

Rather than a true “recipe,” the following serves as a guideline for constructing a mouth-watering Mediterranean mezze platter featuring many traditional ingredients. It is by no means all-encompassing, so feel free to swap out these recommendations with whatever you have on hand that fits the theme.

This recipe also includes the Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip (Htipiti)* and the Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade (with the white fish recipe) mentioned below. The Roasted Garlic Hummus is also included.

To save time, substitute store-bought hummus topped with a little high-quality olive oil and smoked paprika instead.
