Simple Mediterranean Mezze Plate

Posted by Medjoie Team on 2026 Jan 27th

A mezze plate is one of the easiest ways to enjoy Mediterranean food. It’s not a “recipe” in the traditional sense — it’s a thoughtful mix of good ingredients brought together with intention.

This version is perfect for a quick appetizer, a light lunch, or effortless hosting. No cooking required — just simple assembly.

Ingredients

  • Extra virgin olive oil

  • Feta cheese (or mixed Mediterranean cheeses)

  • Olives (green, black, or mixed)

  • Hummus or another mezze dip

  • Fresh vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes)

  • Bread or pita

Tip: Mezze is meant to be flexible. Use what you love and what you have.

Instructions

  1. Place the feta (or mixed cheeses) on a serving plate or board.

  2. Add olives and hummus in small bowls, or arrange them directly on the board.

  3. Slice fresh vegetables and add them around the mezze.

  4. Drizzle a little olive oil over the cheese and vegetables.

  5. Serve with bread or pita on the side.

That’s it — no stress, no cooking, and it always feels special.

Serving & pairing suggestions

  • Serve as an appetizer before dinner or as a light meal.

  • Add a handful of nuts, a few pickles, or roasted peppers if you want more variety.

  • Great for casual gatherings, family nights, or last-minute hosting.

Medjoie Tip

At Medjoie, we recommend using a smooth, balanced olive oil for mezze plates. It should enhance the ingredients — not overpower them.
