Ingredients

Gathering the ingredients for this platter is half the fun. Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup of classic hummus (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup of roasted red pepper hummus
1 cup of tzatziki sauce
1 cup of marinated olives
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup of roasted red peppers, sliced
1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup of artichoke hearts, quartered
1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
4 pieces of pita bread, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Optional: sliced prosciutto or salami for added protein

Feel free to swap out or add ingredients based on your preferences or dietary needs. For instance, you can use gluten-free crackers instead of pita, or add grilled chicken for extra protein.

Instructions

Assembling this platter is a delightful process, reminiscent of the vibrant spreads my family used to prepare. Follow these steps to create your masterpiece:

Start by placing the hummus varieties and tzatziki sauce in small bowls and arrange them on a large serving board.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with smoked paprika for an extra burst of flavor.
Arrange the marinated olives, cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts around the bowls.
Scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the board, ensuring each bite has a bit of tangy goodness.
Place the cucumber slices and pita wedges in groups around the platter for easy grabbing.
Finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and freshness.
Optional: add slices of prosciutto or salami for those who enjoy a savory touch.

Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to assemble this board. Trust your senses, as I learned from my abuela, and have fun with the process!
