The Mediterranean Board I'm Obsessed With

Last week when we stayed at The Proper Hotel, we had this incredible Mediterranean board that was to die for! I’m so obsessed with it that I order it every time we stay there! So, you know I had to recreate it and make my own version! It’s perfect to have in your arsenal for a quick, easy and tasty dish that impresses and would make a great addition for Super Bowl Sunday! Surprise people and change it up! Plus, this board is healthier than traditional meat and cheese ones, and would be great for all those plant-based dieters.

I love visiting our local Persian market to pick up some fresh produce and yummy, prepared side dishes! The idea with this board it to get creative! I'm sharing some of the things I've been adding to mine, but feel free to pick and choose whatever your jam is! That’s the great thing about charcuterie boards and why they’ve become so popular.
