Crafting the Perfect Mezze Platter
I recently found myself with an overflow of hummus and tzatziki and decided to create a Mezze Platter! This platter makes a great dinner when you just want to nosh and it’s perfect for entertaining. Make this as a starter for a Mediterranean themed dinner party and your guests will rave! For the main course, serve my Roasted Za’atar Chicken with lemony potatoes and you’ll have the most scrumptious dinner! This platter is so easy to put together and makes a beautiful presentation!

A mezze platter is a traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spread that features a variety of small dishes. The whole concept of mezze truly invites bringing people together around a platter of delicious food!
One of the many reasons a mezze platter is great for entertaining is its versatility. This platter can be prepared in advance and the variety of pretty foods will encourage your guests to craft different combinations of delicious bites.
A typical mezze platter includes an array of dips such as hummus drizzled with good olive oil, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki and Feta cheese, alongside crunchy vegetables, warm pita bread, and olives. I also added two different kinds of salami as well as marinated artichoke hearts. There is something for everyone on this platter!
A Mezze platter is typically served with white wine…consider these options.
Sauvignon Blanc - Its acidity and herbaceous notes pair well with dishes that include lots of fresh herbs and vegetables.
Assyrtiko - A Greek wine that offers bright acidity and mineral notes, complementing Mediterranean flavors beautifully.
Pinot Grigio - Light and crisp, this wine can offset the richness of some dips and spreads.
