Mediterranean Mezze Platter

 If you think the colorful snack board suppers flooding Instagram and Pinterest are new on the scene, think again. Folks throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East have been doing these snacky set-ups for generations, only they call it mezze.

That’s right—what tapas are to Spain (and snack boards are to Instagram), mezze is to places like Greece, Turkey, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East.
