  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Platter:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup stuffed grape leaves (dolmas)
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1 cup pita bread or flatbread, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crackers
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Feta Dip: In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of water if needed to adjust the consistency. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  2. Arrange the Platter: Place the garlic feta dip and hummus in small bowls on a large serving board. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and stuffed grape leaves around the dips for a colorful and inviting display.
  3. Add the Breads: Fill in any empty spaces on the board with sliced pita bread and crackers to create a full and abundant presentation perfect for dipping.
  4. Finish & Serve: Garnish the dip and platter with fresh parsley or dill. Serve immediately, allowing guests to build their own bites with the variety of fresh and flavorful ingredients.

Notes

  • For a thinner dip, add water a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the dip; roasted garlic can provide a milder taste.
  • Feel free to include additional veggies like bell peppers or radishes for extra crunch.
  • Keep platter ingredients chilled until just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • This platter is customizable to include vegan alternatives such as dairy-free yogurt and cheese substitutes.
