Healthy Mezze Platter with Hummus & Lavash

Spice up your next party with a healthy vegetarian Mezze Platter with hummus, lavash, feta, and veggies. Makes an amazing easy appetizer!What to Use Vegetarian Mezze Platter Appetizer with Hummus When people ask for a way to make entertaining easier, I always recommend making a platter.  Platters are an easy way to impress company when you’re entertaining. They are colorful, fun to arrange and even more fun to eat!

Cheese and charcuterie platters probably come to mind, but today I want to advocate for a different platter to add to your entertaining toolbox – the mezze platter.  Featuring a mix of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean delicacies, this is truly a fuss-free appetizer. It’s also super healthy and – unlike cheese and charcuterie – almost entirely vegan!

Read on for tips for what to put on a mezze platter…

Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe with Brie Cheese

This cheesy spinach artichoke dip recipe is the BEST ever thanks to Real California Brie cheese. It takes just minutes to make and has only five ingredients!Easy Holiday Appetizer - Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe with Brie Cheese

You know I love a good easy recipe. I tend to overexert myself when we’re entertaining for the holidays, in part because I want our guests to have an amazing experience, and in part because I’m a terrible control freak. To compensate, I focus on simple recipes and dishes that can be partly or completely made in advance.

This cheesy spinach artichoke recipe checks all my party boxes. You can make it advance and bake it the day of, it only has five ingredients and it takes just minutes to assemble. Even a control freak like myself would feel comfortable delegating this recipe to a willing assistant – it’s that easy.

Roasted Delicata Squash – Easy Holiday Side Dish

This roasted delicata squash recipe is the perfect easy holiday side dish. It’s packed with flavor from cayenne, pomegranates, Real California Queso Fresco and lime crema.Easy Holiday Side Dish - Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe

Roasted Delicata Squash

Can I just say I’ve been loving delicata squash in a big way this year?

It’s truly the unsung hero of squashes. This beautiful little vegetable doesn’t need to be peeled.

I think the last time I tried to peel a butternut squash I actually got blisters, so this is beyond huge. It’s packed with flavor, but doesn’t overpower a dish. Instead it serves as a ready canvas for the amazing ingredients in this recipe, including pomegranates, Queso Fresco and a lime yogurt crema. Add in a pinch of spices and your mouth is truly in for a treat.
