Mediterranean Mezze Box

A mezze platter is an easy and fun option to create a variety of kid-friendly boxed meals. Use this recipe to get you started, but you can swap in other vegetables, fruit, or dips depending on what you have available or what is in season. This recipe uses our roasted vegetable dip, but would be just as tasty with hummus or tzatziki. Have fun, and be sure to ask your students what they think about it!
