This Greek mezedes dish is a quick-and-easy meal that has something for everyone, such as meat, veggies, pita bread and great dips, while its elegance will make you look like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen.

All you’ll need to set up your platter is:

  • Some cut up cucumbers.
  • Feta cheese.
  • Grilled haloumi cheese with lemon.
  • Kalamata olives.
  • Dolmadakia (Stuffed vine leaves).
  • Skordalia (garlic and potato dip).
  • Taramosalata (fish roe dip).
  • Tzatziki.
  • Hummus.
  • Grilled calamari or octopus.
  • Greek traditional meatballs (keftedakia).
  • Pork souvlaki skewers.
  • Easy marinated eggplant.

Remember to use a very large dish to place all this on and to provide your guests with smaller dishes so they can serve themselves. Enjoy!
