Get ready for a tasty journey with my curated list of the best Mediterranean appetizers! From whipped feta and falafels to Greek salad skewers and grilled seafood, dive into easy and yummy recipes that bring the best of places like Greece, Italy, Turkey and Spain right to your kitchen.
Mediterranean cuisine is famed for its vibrant, fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of herbs and spices. From the zesty lemon and olive oil of Greek dishes to the aromatic spices of Moroccan cuisine, these appetizers are a feast for the senses.
This collection of appetizers is your gateway to experiencing the light and nourishing fare that Mediterranean countries are famous for. Think of Greece’s famous Tzatziki, a creamy yogurt and cucumber dip, or Italy’s Bruschetta, with ripe tomatoes on grilled bread, kissed by olive oil and garlic.
Spain brings the fun with Patatas Bravas while Turkey deligh swith its Meze platter, featuring an assortment of small, flavourful dishes like stuffed grape leaves and spicy Ezme.
I hope you enjoy these Mediterranean appetizers. I’ve included calories, protein and carbs per serving to make it easier to choose what suits your dietary needs.
