To create a vibrant Mediterranean brunch board, you need fresh and colorful ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need: - 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade) - 1 cup tzatziki sauce - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1 cucumber, thinly sliced - 1 red bell pepper, sliced - 1 cup mixed olives (green and black) - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled - 1 cup sliced salami or turkey (or roasted vegetables for a non-meat option) - 1 cup pita bread, cut into triangles - Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or mint) If you choose to buy some items, I recommend a few trusted brands. For hummus, look for brands like Sabra or Tribe. Their flavors are rich and creamy. For tzatziki, try Fage or Oikos; they have great texture and taste. For olives, consider the Castelvetrano variety, which offers a sweet and mild flavor. These brands help keep your brunch board easy yet tasty. Fresh ingredients make a big difference. They add bright flavors and vibrant colors. Fresh vegetables like cucumbers and bell peppers are crunchier and more delicious. They also look great on the board. Fresh herbs bring an extra pop of flavor. Always choose the freshest options you can find. This ensures your brunch board is not only beautiful but also full of taste. Using quality ingredients makes your meal shine. When you take care in selecting your ingredients, your guests will notice! To start, grab a large wooden board or platter. This will be your serving space. Place it on the table where everyone can reach. Take a cup of hummus and a cup of tzatziki sauce. Add a big dollop of each in the center of the board. Make small wells in the dips to add flair. This makes it look nice and inviting. Next, it’s time to make it colorful. Place halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red bell pepper around the dips. Keep it neat and pretty. Scatter mixed olives on the board. Use both green and black for variety. This adds color and flavor. After that, add crumbled feta cheese in little mounds. This adds a tangy taste that pairs well with the dips. If you like, take sliced salami or turkey and roll them into spirals. Place them on one side of the board. For a veggie option, roasted veggies like eggplant work great too. Finally, fill in any empty spots with pita bread triangles. This completes your board. Don’t forget to sprinkle fresh herbs on top to make it pop. Serve your Mediterranean brunch board right away. Let your guests dip, scoop, and create tasty bites. For the full recipe, check out the instructions above. For hummus, start with good quality chickpeas. You can use canned or dried. If using dried, soak them overnight. Blend chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. For smoothness, add water as needed. Taste and adjust with salt or more lemon. For tzatziki, use fresh cucumbers. Grate them and squeeze out water. Mix with yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Add salt to taste. This combo brings a cool, fresh flavor. Both dips should be creamy and flavorful. First, choose a large wooden board or platter. It adds warmth and style. Place dips in the center to create a focal point. Use small bowls for hummus and tzatziki. This keeps them neat and easy to scoop. Arrange colorful veggies around the dips. Use a mix of shapes and colors. For example, halved cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumbers look great together. Add olives and feta in small mounds. This adds texture and height. To finish, scatter fresh herbs like parsley or mint for a pop of green. It makes the board inviting and fresh. To save time, prep ingredients ahead. Chop veggies and store them in the fridge. You can also make hummus and tzatziki the day before. They taste even better overnight. Use store-bought hummus and tzatziki if you’re short on time. This still gives you great flavor. Cut pita bread into triangles right before serving. This keeps them fresh and crisp. With these tips, you can quickly assemble a stunning brunch board. Invite friends and enjoy a delicious spread.

You can also add grilled artichokes for a fun flavor. For a vegan option, choose plant-based feta or skip the cheese entirely. Hummus and tzatziki are already vegan-friendly. They add lots of flavor! To make this board gluten-free, swap pita bread for gluten-free crackers or veggies. Carrot sticks and cucumber slices work well as dippers. Check the labels on your hummus and tzatziki to ensure they are gluten-free. Most store brands are safe, but it's best to be sure. Use seasonal ingredients to keep things fresh and exciting. In summer, add juicy peaches or fresh figs for sweetness. In fall, try roasted butternut squash or pomegranate seeds. Winter brings hearty greens like kale or roasted Brussels sprouts. Always aim for what’s in season for the best flavor! For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe section. To keep your Mediterranean brunch board fresh, store leftovers in airtight containers. Place dips like hummus and tzatziki in separate containers. Wrap any fresh veggies in damp paper towels, then place them in a bag. This helps them stay crisp. For cheese and meats, keep them in their own containers. This method prevents odors and helps maintain flavor. Always check your fridge's temperature. It should be at 40°F or lower. Store leftovers within two hours of serving to keep food safe. If you notice anything that looks off, toss it out. Freshness makes a big difference in flavor. You can also keep each ingredient separate. This method allows you to mix and match later. If you have cooked ingredients like salami or roasted veggies, reheat them gently. Use the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts. Stir in between to avoid hot spots. Always check that the food is warm all the way through. Enjoy your Mediterranean flavors again! For the full recipe, refer to the Mediterranean Brunch Board section above. You can serve many tasty items with a Mediterranean brunch board. Fresh fruit, like berries or melon, adds sweetness. You can also add nuts, like almonds or walnuts, for crunch. A simple green salad with lemon dressing pairs well, too. For drinks, think about herbal tea, fresh juice, or even a light sparkling wine. To make the brunch board heartier, add more proteins. Consider grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas. You could also include hard-boiled eggs for an extra boost. Adding whole grain or flatbreads can help fill people up. For a twist, offer some spreads, like baba ganoush or muhammara, which are tasty and filling. Yes, you can prepare parts of the brunch board in advance.

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup tzatziki sauce

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup mixed olives (green and black)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup sliced salami or turkey (for a non-meat option, use roasted vegetables)

1 cup pita bread, cut into triangles

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the base of your brunch board. Use a large wooden board or platter as your serving surface.

    In the center of the board, place a generous dollop of hummus and tzatziki sauce, creating small wells to add a decorative touch.

      Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red bell pepper around the dips in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

        Scatter the mixed olives across the board for color and flavor.

          Add crumbled feta cheese in mounds around the vegetables for a creamy and tangy contrast.

            If using salami or turkey, roll the slices into spirals or fans and place them on one side of the board. For a vegetarian option, arrange roasted vegetables (like eggplant or zucchini) instead.

              Finally, fill in the gaps on the board with pita bread triangles, creating a cohesive look.

                Garnish the whole board with fresh herbs for added freshness and color.

                  Serve immediately, encouraging guests to dip, scoop, and create their own combinations.
