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!

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
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!
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.
