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.

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!
