Perfect Presentation Platters
This Mediterranean Salsa is so versatile and can be served in a bowl, on a platter, or as a side dish. Here are some of my favorite serving platters!
Large Serving Bowls: I used a black bowl very similar to this beautiful stoneware bowl! For larger batches, you also can’t go wrong with this Wooden Salad Bowl (from Walmart at a great price!) or this option from JC Penney. For a higher-end choice, I love this white floral bowl by MacKenzie-Childs, as well this everyday bowl from her collection, which also comes in blue.
Individual Bowls: If you’d prefer to serve this Mediterranean Salsa in individual or smaller bowls, Walmart has these beautiful gray stoneware bowls with silver rims that are so elegant! I also love this black-and-white coordinating set or this colorful terracotta Spanish style.
White Platters: Another serving option is to place a bowl on a platter and surround it with crackers or pita chips. If you’d prefer a marble look, this white marble pastry board from World Market is beautiful. For a less expensive option, this faux white marble tray from Walmart is also a great choice!
Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes! Just cover tightly with Saran Wrap or store in a Tupperware container and keep refrigerated. I’d recommend serving this within 24 hours of prepping.
Storying Leftover Mediterranean Salsa
Keep any leftovers in a Tupperware container or cover tightly with Saran Wrap and keep in the refrigerator, where it should stay fresh for 2-3 days.
Enjoy!
I hope this Mediterranean Salsa was a refreshing recipe for you this summer! Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!
