Mediterranean Tasting Plate

foodblog-5-of-7

Earlier this year I had the most delicious lunch: a Mediterranean tasting plate. I have always loved dishes that give you a little of this and a little of that, and this one had such a great variety!

Olives, stuffed grape leaves, hummus, carrots and celery (loved the veggie touch!), toasted pita, big beans with sun-dried tomatoes, and a huge hunk of feta. It was absolutely delicious, and I knew I wanted to re-create it at home!

My version would be great for a lunch for two (mine is a little large for one, but maybe you have a large appetite!) or perfect as a party dish. I took mine to a fall party and it was a big hit.

I love that this platter requires barely any prep – just assembly. All you need to do is gather ingredients, chop the veggies, and toast the pita. And make hummus, if you’d like to. I used a local brand that I love!

I found the grape leaves (a.k.a. dolmas) at Whole Foods in a nice little tin. So easy!

I also added grapes to mine, which I thought was an excellent touch for something sweet to cleanse the palate. The big beans and olives came from the salad bar in my grocery store.

Shopping list:

  1. Whole wheat pita (plus olive oil and Italian herbs for toasting)
  2. 2 big carrots
  3. 2 big celery stalks
  4. 1 tin of stuffed grape leaves (dolmas)
  5. A block of feta, cubed
  6. Seasoned big beans
  7. Olives
  8. Hummus
  9. Grapes

Enjoy!

    With the holidays right around the corner, this would be a great thing to take to a party, and anyone can make it – even me a cooking noob!

    We had a luscious Moroccan white wine with tapas and mezze at Cleo Mediterranean Restaurant in Las Vegas. Great accompaniment for this tasting plate.

    That looks amazing! I so wish I had this to eat right now 🙂 My favorite item on the plate would have to be the olives!

    Ooh…I love snack plates for meals! (that’s what I call them) A little of this and a little of that is one of my favorite ways to eat. And I’m slowly bringing my husband around to this way of eating! Sometimes it’s more like a clean out the fridge event for a weekend lunch, but it works and is always pretty tasty! Variety is the spice of life is a motto I live by. 🙂

    You should check Jennifer Robson’s books if you like historical fiction. She has a trilogy of books that take place around the time of WW1. Somewhere in France, After the War is Over and Moonlight over Paris. Her research and detail is amazing!
