Tips & Variations

Vegetable Options: Add bell peppers, eggplant, asparagus, or mushrooms to the roasted vegetable mix for more variety and color.

Cheese Alternatives: Use goat cheese, cream cheese, or halloumi in place of feta for a different flavor and texture.

Dip Enhancements: Mix in a pinch of smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil over the dip for extra depth.

Serving Ideas: Include olives, roasted chickpeas, or marinated artichokes for a fuller mezze spread.

Herb Choices: Fresh parsley, dill, or mint can all enhance the dip or garnish.

Make Ahead: Roast vegetables and prepare the dip a few hours ahead. Keep the dip refrigerated and assemble the board just before serving.

Bread Alternatives: Swap pita for flatbreads, lavash, or crusty baguette slices. Toasting slightly brings out more flavor.
