Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Feta

  • 8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • Black pepper, to taste

Grazing Board

  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup marinated olives (Kalamata or green)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup stuffed grape leaves (dolmas)
  • 1/4 cup roasted nuts (almonds or pistachios)
  • 1/2 cup pita bread or flatbread, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crackers
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or mint) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Whipped Feta: In a food processor, blend crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen the mixture slightly.
  2. Prepare the Board Base: Transfer the whipped feta into a shallow bowl and place it prominently on the serving board. Spoon the hummus into a separate small serving dish and place it alongside the whipped feta.
  3. Arrange the Ingredients: Artistically arrange marinated olives, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, roasted red peppers, stuffed grape leaves, and roasted nuts around the dips on the board, making sure to balance colors and textures evenly. Fill in any gaps with slices of pita bread and an assortment of crackers to create an abundant spread.
  4. Finish & Serve: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the whipped feta and sprinkle fresh chopped herbs such as parsley, dill, or mint on top for garnish. Serve the grazing board immediately to allow guests to mix, match, and build their own Mediterranean bites.

Notes

  • The whipped feta can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • Substitute roasted nuts with your choice of seeds for a nut-free option.
  • Use gluten-free crackers and pita bread if serving guests with gluten intolerance.
  • Add lemon zest to the whipped feta for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
  • This board pairs beautifully with chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
