Ingredients
- Labneh or Greek yogurt (for creamy tanginess)
- Feta cheese, crumbled
- Hummus, classic or roasted red pepper
- Cucumber, sliced thin
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Radishes, thinly sliced
- Bell peppers, assorted colors, sliced
- Kalamata olives, pitted
- Green olives stuffed with lemon or garlic
- Pickled pepperoncini or mild pickled vegetables (optional)
- Pita bread, cut into triangles
- Lavash or flatbread crackers
- Fresh mint and parsley leaves
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Za’atar spice blend (optional)
- Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
- Rinse cucumber, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and bell peppers thoroughly. Slice cucumbers and radishes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Halve the cherry tomatoes and cut the bell peppers into strips about 3 inches long.
- Place labneh or Greek yogurt in a small bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with za’atar spice if using. Crumble feta cheese into another bowl or scatter loosely on the board. Portion hummus into a separate bowl.
- Warm the pita bread slightly (about 1 minute in the microwave or 2-3 minutes in a warm oven at 350°F). Cut into triangles roughly 2-3 inches wide.
- Arrange the board by placing bowls of dips and olives spaced evenly. Fill in spaces with fresh veggies, pita triangles, and sprinkle fresh herbs like mint and parsley throughout. Add lemon wedges for a bright finish.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over labneh and veggies if desired, and add a pinch of flaky sea salt to the feta. Optionally, dust za’atar over the creamy parts.
Notes
Prep veggies and dips the night before and assemble just before serving to keep freshness. Warm pita last-minute to avoid sogginess. Use fresh herbs for aroma and color. Taste dips before plating and adjust with lemon juice or olive oil if needed. For gluten-free, substitute pita and crackers with gluten-free alternatives. Add protein like grilled chicken or smoked salmon for a heartier meal.
