If you have the time, you can make delicious and super easy creamy cilantro jalapeño hummus ahead of time. For the last minutes preparation any quality store-bought hummus will do too.
I also love to create super delicious Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut dip / chutney . You can make a big batch of this chutney and freeze it for later use in individual portion. This bold and earthy spread will surely sparkle the platter. If you want to use store bought ingredients, choose Harissa, Red pepper spread.

Arrange a big serving platter and few serving bowl. Fill the bowls with hummus, red pepper spread, marinated artichokes and olives. Drizzle some olive oil over hummus for extra authentic feel.
Artfully arrange all the veggies and pita bread pieces around the bowls. Replenish and serve as needed. You can mix and match the veggies and pita pieces as a base. You can also layer and fill the pita pockets to make a fabulous sandwich.
