Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, parsley, and mint.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Spread the hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Place the burrata in the center of a large serving board.
Arrange the chickpea salad in a serving bowl beside the burrata.
Fill the remaining space on the board with roasted red peppers, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, artichokes, olives, roasted almonds, pistachios, warm pita bread, and artisan crackers.
Garnish the board with fresh basil, parsley, lemon wedges, and a light sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately while the pita is still warm for the ultimate Mediterranean mezze experience.
