Ingredient For Mediterranean Brunch Board

• Hummus: Hummus is a creamy blend of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. It’s not only delicious but also provides a great source of protein, super important for keeping the kiddos (and you!) feeling energized! I’ve chosen classic garlic hummus for its simplicity, but feel free to spice it up. You can easily use roasted red pepper or even a spicy harissa hummus. Store-bought is a breeze here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, homemade is always the way to go.
• Tzatziki: Every Mediterranean platter needs a good tzatziki! This yogurt-based dip is refreshing and tangy, with cucumbers and a hint of garlic. It’s going to give you the best taste and cooling effect, especially if your brunch gets a little crowded. You can substitute Greek yogurt for regular yogurt, just be aware that it might not be as thick. And hey, if you turn it up a notch with some dill, you’ll have a tzatziki that’ll knock your guests’ socks off!
• Baba Ganoush: Ah, Baba Ganoush, the smoky cousin of hummus! This eggplant dip is pure comfort food with its creamy, earthy flavor profile. I love it because it adds a depth of flavor to the board, trust me, your family will be scraping the bowl clean. If you’re not a fan of eggplant or need to switch it up, you can use roasted red peppers or a chickpea-based dip instead.
• Olives: You can’t have a Mediterranean board without olives; they’re little bursts of flavor that add a delightful brininess. A mix of Kalamata and green olives is fabulous for variety and keeps it colorful! If olives aren’t your thing, marinated artichokes or pickles would work seamlessly in this set-up.
• Feta Cheese: Feta is the crown jewel here. With its crumbly texture and salty notes, it’s going to elevate the entire brunch board. I prefer importing my feta straight from Greece for that authentic taste, but any good quality feta will work well in this recipe. And guess what? If you’re vegan or dairy-free, try crumbled tofu seasoned with a touch of nutritional yeast as a fantastic alternative!
• Cucumber Slices: Fresh cucumber slices bring a nice crunch and zest to the board. They’re fantastic for dipping and pairing with hummus or tzatziki. Feel free to substitute with bell pepper slices or jicama if you’re in the mood for a little variety!
• Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet cherry tomatoes provide a pop of color and sweetness to your spread. They’re also a great source of vitamin C! If you can’t get your hands on fresh ones, cherry tomatoes can be easily replaced with roasted ones for a different flavor profile. Just toss them in olive oil with a pinch of salt and roast until they burst!
• Bell Peppers: Crunchy, sweet, and vibrant, bell peppers add visual appeal and freshness. Red, yellow, or orange bell peppers are my go-tos for their sweetness, so delicious! You can substitute with sliced radishes for extra crunch or even blanched green beans if you’re feeling adventurous!
• Pita Bread: To scoop up all that goodness, you’ll need pita bread! I recommend whole wheat or traditional pita for added flavor and texture. You can cut it into triangles to make dipping easier. For a low-carb option, try using pepper strips or even crunchy crackers.
• Marinated Artichokes: These little gems make everything better! The tanginess and unique flavor of marinated artichokes add a gourmet touch. Plus, you can easily use the kind from the jar, no shame in that game! If you can’t find them, a mix of sun-dried tomatoes could also bring in that beautiful Mediterranean flavor!

How to Make This Mediterranean Brunch Board

2. Arrange the Dips: Start by placing the hummus, tzatziki, and baba ganoush in small bowls on a large serving platter. Aim for a semblance of balance so that guests can dip from all angles!

3. Surround with Veggies and Cheese: Next, surround the dips with an artful arrangement of sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, sprinkling the feta in between for that rustic look.

4. Add Olives and Artichokes: Scatter olives and marinated artichokes around the platter—let’s make sure there’s no empty space!

5. Prepare the Pita: Cut the pita bread into triangles (like little sails) and place them nicely on the edge of the board. This makes it easy for grabbing and dipping!
