Q&A
Q1: Can I make this platter ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prep all the ingredients a few hours in advance. Assemble the board just before serving to keep everything fresh, and warm the pita right before plating.
Q2: What can I use instead of feta if I need a dairy-free option?
A: Try using a plant-based feta alternative or hummus as the centerpiece. Both pair beautifully with the same Mediterranean ingredients.
