Steps:
- Combine cherries, balsamic vinegar, vanilla bean seeds, honey, olive oil, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium/medium-low. Simmer until mixture is thick and reduced by more than half. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then pour onto feta. Serve with crackers and more honey, if desired.
- Prepare a hot grill. Drizzle all vegetables and halloumi with a bit of olive oil then season with salt and pepper. Brush grill grate with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill vegetables until tender and nicely charred, turning occasionally. Green onions will be ready after 2-4 minutes. Peppers and zucchini take about 10 minutes. Transfer from grill to serving platter.
- Grill halloumi, about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear. If you press gently on the cheese, it should be tender and give a little but not be too soft or runny. Transfer from grill to serving platter. Sprinkle grilled vegetables and halloumi with fresh mint, if desired, to serve. Drizzle halloumi with harissa oil, if desired, to serve.
- You can grill the apricots at the same time as the halloumi to ensure things come out at the right time. Prepare a hot grill (or keep grill hot from grilled vegetables). In a medium bowl, combine apricots, olive oil, honey, vanilla bean seeds, and salt. Toss to coat apricots well, ensuring vanilla bean seeds are evenly distributed.
- Grill apricots, cut side down, until marked and beginning to soften, about 1 minute or so. Flip and cook about 30 more seconds on the skin side until marked. Transfer to serving platter.
- Arrange all items on a platter, evenly distributing types of dishes (dips, fruits, nuts, cheeses) and colors, making sure no type of dish or color is too concentrated. You can start by placing large items like dips and arranging dipping items (crackers, grilled veggies, fresh veggies) around them.

20 TRADITIONAL GREEK APPETIZERS - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (2)Published 2021-07-01Category Appetizers, Recipe Roundup
- Spanakopita. Spanakopita is one of my personal favorites. To try this mix of flaky pastry and creamy spinach is to love it, trust me. This classic appetizer consists of a dreamy, gooey spinach and feta filling encased in buttery phyllo pastry.
- Greek Meze Platter. The best Greek chefs can pull together a loaded meze platter in minutes. Full of tasty morsels like meats, cheeses, spreads, and breads, it’s a mix and match meal that hits the spot.
- Greek Layer Dip. Dips make great apps. Not only can you make up a giant bowl with very little effort, they’re also guaranteed party pleasers. They’re ideal for game days and backyard BBQs.
- Feta and Greek Yogurt Pita Appetizer. This fun appetizer is what happens when two great cuisines collide and Greek pita meets Italian pizza. Soft, floury pitas are topped with a creamy mix of feta and yogurt.
- Greek Stuffed Cucumber Bites. If you’re looking for a light, low-carb appetizer that delivers both taste and healthy goodness, look no further! These cucumber bites are a refreshing taste of summer that’s ready in just 15 minutes.
- Greek Salad Skewers. Salad skewers are what I make for summer dinner parties when I want it to look like I’ve labored over dinner (when I actually sat around all afternoon watching daytime repeats).
- Greek Bruschetta. Bruschetta is an Italian favorite, but it gets a Greek spin here. The essential elements are the same – crusty bread, tomato-based topping – but there’s a definite Greek influence with hummus, tzatziki, and feta.
- Greek Puff Pastry Appetizers With Kalamata Olives. These pillowy parcels are fluffy, buttery bits of yum. Filled with a mixture of kalamata olives, red bell pepper, fresh oregano, feta, and spinach, they’re not just irresistible, they’re also packed with healthy antioxidants.
- Greek Meatballs. Bursting with big, bold flavors, these are not your average meatballs. Ground lamb is seasoned with lemon zest, oregano, and feta before being rolled into a ball and flash-fried until golden.
- Feta Dip Phyllo Cups. I love the look of these cute pastry cups, but I love the taste even more. Flaky pastry shells are stuffed with a creamy mix of feta, tomato, onion, basil, and garlic.

- Spinach and feta filo parcels with tzatziki. If you’re a fan of traditional Greek spanakopita (spinach and feta pie), you’ll love these cute little filo pies!
- Feta filo pies with honey. This is a pie with a difference. A true Greek meze dish, just as perfect for sharing on a terrace at sunset as huddled around a roaring fire in the winter.
- Mini mushroom filo pies. Been asked to take a plate of food to a party? These little mushroom pies are perfect. They’re crispy, delicious little bites with a burst of flavour in the middle.
- Tiropita (mini feta cheese triangles) These are a mini crowd pleasing version of one of Greece’s best known snack foods – tiropita, or feta cheese pies.
- Greek quesadillas. I bet you’ve never heard of Greek-Mex! The filling in these delicious vegetarian quesadillas is similar to what you’d find inside a traditional Greek spanakopita (spinach and feta pie).
- Greek chicken wings (or drumsticks!) If you always go for the chicken wings first at a party, you’ve got to try these easy Greek chicken wings from the amazing blog Recipe Tin Eats.
- Greek nachos. Imagine a Greek salad… on top of a plate of nachos. Drizzle with tzatziki or Greek yoghurt and you have a pretty cool appetizer plate that’s just a little bit different.
- Tortilla pinwheels. One for the kids – both little kids and big kids! These tortilla pinwheels or roll-ups are perfect for parties, picnics, or even school lunch boxes.
- Easy zucchini fries. Inspired by my days in Greece, these zucchini fries are made with a light and crispy tempura batter. Make a big plateful and they’ll be gone before you can say tzatziki.
- Halloumi fries. It’s hard to pick a favourite in a list like this with so much delicious food. But if I HAD to, these halloumi fries would be it. They’re incredibly easy and quick to make with just 3 ingredients.

- Olive Tapenade (Spread) This quick blender olive tapenade recipe is made with black or green Greek olives and has a tart taste in comparison with the rest of the appetizers in this list.
