What is mezze?

Mezze (or meze) is a variety of small dishes or plates (similar to tapas) that can be served as an appetizer or as an entire meal as the range of mezze dishes is vast and incredibly versatile.

How to make a mezze platter

I like to include a little bit of everything on my platters. All the components of Greek salad make an appearance as well as juicy meatballs, dips like hummus and tzatziki, warmed pita bread and dolmades (stuffed vine leaves) are all crucial elements.

Use the biggest platter you can find and fill it with generous amounts of all your chosen ingredients before serving.

  1. Greek meatballs with feta cheese
  2. Pork souvlaki skewers
  3. Easy marinated eggplant
  4. Grilled calamari/octopus
  5. Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves)
  6. Kalamata olives
  7. Feta cheese
  8. Grilled haloumi cheese with lemon
  9. Hummus
  10. Tzatziki

    Ah Me!!!! Takes me back to my many holidays in the Greek Islands when I used to live in the UK. Greece was a very popular vacation destination for many Brits.

        You MUST go. It’s absolutely beautiful and the food is wonderful, especially if you visit restaurants that the locals use. Just an FYI…all restaurant prices are governed by some local authority, I forget which one, which means that you won’t get ripped off on food because they all have to charge the same.
