My husband loves this platter and it’s great for when friends visit. I’m plant-based so munch on the olives. As always, I like to share the diverse recipes the rest of the family like too.
Moreish Mediterranean Platter
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 100g freshly cooked ready to eat prawns
- 1 tbsp olive oil for prawn marinade, more to drizzle for dressing
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 50g feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 tsp oregano
- Handful of mixed leaves
- 3 – 4 cherry tomatoes
- Apple cider vinaigrette
- 1/4 lime
- Bowl of home marinated olives (check out my husband’s olive marinade recipe here)
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Method
Around 20 minutes before dining, prepare and marinate your prawns. Place the olive oil and parsley into a bowl and mix. Add the prawns and toss to coat them evenly. Cover and leave for 20 minutes.
Place feta onto plate and drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle oregano. Add mixed leaves and tomatoes and drizzle olive oil and apple cider vinaigrette.
Add the prawns to the plate and serve with marinated olives in a separate bowl. Serve with a wedge of lime for the prawns!
Season with salt and pepper. Eat.

Hhaa I came 4th in the North in the heats before TV and they only needed 3 little chefs, I really wasn’t ready for my close up then so was a little relieved, my Dad was a bit disappointed though #stagedad 😉 x
This looks delicious! I absolutely adore Greek food. I’d love to give this one a go – I don’t think it would look quite so well presented as yours though! Excited about linking up to #TastyTuesdays for the first time this week 🙂 x
Thanks so much Jenny, yay, so glad to have you join, thank you and P.S If they weren’t going on the site, this wouldn’t look as good, promise!
Lovely looking recipe as always – you totally deserve to be in the finals. Good luck!

I know, pleased too, transitioning after Jamaica would have been much tougher otherwise x
This sort of dish is one of my absolute favs, I love grown up picnic food! Can just imagine tucking into this in the garden on a warm evening with a glass of something bubbly. And congrats on this nomination-can’t say I’m surprised and you definitely have my vote. Well done my lovely xx
