    How to make this Greek Charcuterie Board

    Begin by selecting your favorite board, platter or tray for this Greek Grazing Board. Find small bowls and dishes for the small items - all of the "juicy" items and the dip items. These include: tzatziki dip, hummus, sardines, wine leaves and olives.

    Place the small bowls onto the platter and spread them out. Fill each dish with one of each of those items and place them onto the platter.

    Begin by tucking the larger items around the bowls on the tray. Place only one layer of each item on the platter, so you can move and adjust the items.

    Fold the salami slices in half and half again and place onto the platter. 

    crunchy cucumbers

    Cut the crunchy cucumbers and add to the charcuterie board, along with the other vegetables.

    When all items are on the platter, add a second and third layer to fill the platter and load up the goodies. 

    sardines, dolma, pita crackers, salami, cucumber, feta cheese cubes, tomatoes

    Serve this Mediterranean Charcuterie Board immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. 

    Hint: Please note, if you plan to refrigerate and then serve the Greek Grazing Board later in the day or evening, it is a best bet to remove the crackers and add them to your charcuterie board later - just before you are going to serve it to your guests.

    Wrap the entire meal in plastic wrap so that nothing goes stale. The crackers and nuts will soften if they are left on the plate with the other ingredients, and no one likes a soggy cracker or pita chip!

    Tips for Creating Charcuterie Boards

    The perfect way to create Greek Charcuterie Boards is to buy high-quality ingredients and arrange them with a little loving care! Bring the taste of the Greek Islands to your next dinner party by visiting your local market or the grocery store the same day so that all of the ingredients are fresh.

    The most important components of a good Greek Charcuterie Board are: high quality feta cheese, kalamata olives, tzatziki dip and hummus, pita chips and cured meats like salami.

    What can be used as a charcuterie board?

    While the best presentation is going to be a traditional charcuterie board, you can also use a large serving platter, a cutting board, or several large plates.

    Substitutions for this Greek Appetizers Version of the Traditional Charcuterie Board

    Are you looking for how to make this Mediterranean charcuterie board vegetarian? If you want to make a Vegan or vegetarian mezze platter, it is easy to swap out some of the ingredients and make it a Greek version of a Vegetarian Charcuterie Board.

    • fresh vegetables - instead of including cured meats like salami, you can substitute additional fresh vegetables like red bell peppers strips or sun-dried tomatoes
