A mezze platter is more than just a collection of appetizers; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures that bring people together. Whether you’re hosting a party or enjoying a casual meal, here’s how to create a stunning platter that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Begin your mezze platter with a selection of classic Mediterranean dips. Include hummus, baba ganoush, and tzatziki. Serve them in small bowls for easy access.
Balance the creamy dips with crunchy, fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and bell pepper strips. Add pickled items like turnips or cucumbers for a tangy contrast.
No mezze platter is complete without a variety of olives. Include Kalamata, green, and stuffed olives for a mix of flavors and textures.
Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) and mini bell peppers filled with cheese or rice add an element of surprise and richness to your platter.
Offer warm pita bread cut into triangles and crispy flatbread crackers as vehicles for the dips and spreads.
Feta, halloumi, or labneh bring a creamy, salty component to the platter. Serve them in chunks or slices for easy nibbling.
Grilled lamb skewers, falafel, or spiced shrimp can add heartiness to your mezze platter, turning it into a complete meal.
Finish your platter with fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil to add pops of color and flavor.
