Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, cubed
6 oz (170 g) fresh mozzarella balls
4 oz (115 g) goat cheese
4 oz (115 g) Manchego cheese, sliced
1 cup classic hummus
1/2 cup whipped feta dip
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp za’atar seasoning
4 pita breads, warmed and cut into wedges
1 cup cucumber slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup Kalamata olives
1/2 cup green olives
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts
1/4 cup stuffed grape leaves (dolmas)
1/4 cup pepperoncini peppers
1/4 cup roasted almonds and pistachios
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the pita bread for 5–7 minutes before cutting it into wedges.
2. Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, drizzle with half of the olive oil, and sprinkle with the za’atar seasoning.
3. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a second bowl and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
4. Arrange the feta, mozzarella, goat cheese, and Manchego around the dip bowls on a large serving board.
5. Fill the remaining spaces with pita wedges, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, olives, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, dolmas, pepperoncini, and roasted nuts.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley, add fresh lemon wedges, and serve immediately while the pita is warm.
Notes
Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best Mediterranean flavor.
Feel free to customize the board with seasonal fruits, additional cheeses, or extra dips like tzatziki or baba ganoush.
Assemble the board shortly before serving to keep the vegetables fresh and the pita warm.
