Why it works
Halloumi is the one cheese that's best hot: grilled, it turns golden outside and squeaky inside. Briny feta gives you a cold, salty contrast, and hummus and tzatziki give you two dips with very different textures.
Dolmas, Kalamata olives and roasted peppers add the savory notes that meat usually brings, and cucumber and tomatoes keep it fresh. Dried apricots or figs and pistachios finish it, with a Greek Assyrtiko or dry rosé.
Timeline
- T–30 minMake or plate the dips; take the feta out of the brine.

Is this board vegetarian?
