    TO THE RECIPE

    This healthy and delicious feta and herb platter is based on Sabzi Khordan, a common Persian side dish. Bunches of fresh herbs are served alongside feta, crunchy vegetables and nuts, and eaten in a chunk of flatbread. This fresh herb platter takes just minutes to prepare, and is an impressive but super easy dish – perfect for entertaining!

    • Sabzi Khordan (Feta Herb Platter)

    This vegetarian platter is so easy to make – and there is no cooking required! It is a great recipe to use up fresh herbs, is ready in 10 minutes, and looks really pretty too!

    Whilst it is simple, this feta platter is most definitely not boring. Each mouthful is packed with flavour and textures. From salty feta, crunchy radishes, fiery onions and fragrant herbs.

    It’s light and fresh, perfect for hot summer days, or enjoy as a starter/appetizer to your main dish.

    Place the platter in the centre of the table, and let everyone help themselves to some flatbread, feta, walnuts, fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables. Pile the toppings on a torn piece of flatbread, roll up and enjoy!

    FAQ

    What herbs can you use?

    Any herbs that you have access to! Here I used the herbs growing in my garden, but you can alter them to suit your taste and what you can pick up in your garden, market or local shops. Basil, Thai basil, purple basil, mint, dill, flat leaf parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, marjoram are all delicious!

    What if I don’t have flatbread?

    Serve with a crusty baguette, or make soft chapatis. For a low carb option, serve on lettuce leaves.

    Making Ahead/Leftovers

    • Making Ahead: I don’t recommend you make this platter ahead of time as the herbs will begin to wilt.
    • Leftovers: You may have to pick over the herbs, but if there are bits leftover I like to toast the flatbread, break into pieces and make a fattoush style salad with them, any leftover herbs and feta and some cucumber; or sprinkle the herbs, feta and vegetables on top of nachos.

    • 4 spring onions (scallions or green onions), but into thirds/quarters
    • small bunch fresh herbs: basil, coriander (cilantro), flat leaf parsley, mint, dill, tarragon Try to use at least 4 types of herbs, if you can.

    Notes

    Feta: I like to use a soft and smooth feta for this recipe, such as Persian feta or Danish feta.
    Herbs: You can also use Thai Basil, Purple Basil, chives, marjoram. Any fresh herbs that you like eating raw!
    The nutritional values for this salad are approximate and do not include the flatbread.
