Ingredients

Scale

Hummus

  • 1 cup classic hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika or cumin

Cheese & Dips

  • 7 oz (200 g) feta cheese, block or thick slices
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Breads

  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)

Mediterranean Additions

  • 1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata, green, black)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup cucumber slices
  • ¼ cup marinated artichoke hearts
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or oregano sprigs
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hummus: Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern on the surface, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika or cumin for a smoky, aromatic finish.
  2. Season the Feta: Place the feta cheese on a small plate or dish. Drizzle it evenly with olive oil, sprinkle dried oregano generously, and finish with freshly cracked black pepper to add a fragrant and slightly spicy touch.
  3. Grill the Pita: Lightly brush each pita bread with olive oil on both sides. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the pita for 1 to 2 minutes per side until warm and lightly charred. Remove and cut into wedges for easy dipping and sharing.
  4. Assemble the Board: On a large serving board or platter, arrange the prepared hummus and feta near the center. Surround them with the grilled pita wedges arranged neatly around the dips to create an inviting presentation.
  5. Add Mediterranean Sides: Place the mixed olives, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and cucumber slices in small bowls or directly on the board. Scatter cherry tomatoes and lemon wedges around for vibrant color and complementary flavors.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Finish your appetizer board with fresh sprigs of parsley or oregano for a herbaceous note. Serve immediately as a mezze-style appetizer perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a light, Mediterranean-inspired starter.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked paprika with cumin based on your flavor preference.
  • For a vegan option, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative or omit it.
  • Grilled pita can be toasted in the oven if a grill pan is not available.
  • Store any leftovers separately in airtight containers; grilled pita is best consumed the same day.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the hummus and veggies for an extra citrusy brightness if desired.
