If you mix them up in advance and chill them, they work great packed in a thermos for a picnic. Just serve over ice. They will also be the stars of your Cinco de Mayo fiesta next month!

Spice up your next party with a healthy vegetarian Mezze Platter with hummus, lavash, feta, and veggies. Makes an amazing easy appetizer!

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.
