Mediterranean Mezze Platter

Step 1

Place a small bowl on a large plate or shallow platter and spoon the 1 cup hummus into it, so it sits in the center.

Step 2

Cut the pita bread in half, then cut each half into three wedges, creating six triangle pieces. Arrange them around the hummus.

Step 3

Hold the cucumber upright on a cutting board and slice it in half lengthwise, from tip to root, creating two long halves.

Step 4

Lay each cucumber half flat with the cut side down, then slice crosswise into half-moon pieces about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel, then arrange both the cucumber pieces and tomatoes on the platter around the hummus.

Step 6

Pour the 0.75 cup Kalamata olives into a small bowl and place it on the platter next to the hummus, so guests can use the pit.

Step 7

Sprinkle the 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese over the empty spaces on the platter in a scattered, generous pattern.
