Best meze to serve at Easter?

[toniiv]

What is the best Greek meze to serve for Greek Easter? I want dishes that will wow my guests and make this Easter unforgettable. I’m looking for meze that are both traditional and have that ‘wow’ factor in terms of visual appeal and taste. I’d appreciate if you could share your favorites and perhaps some personal tips or recipes that make them stand out.

Here’s what I’m considering so far, but I’d love your input:

• Tzatziki - A refreshing yogurt, cucumber, and garlic dip.
• Spanakopita - Hearty spinach and feta pie encased in flaky pastry.
• Dolmadakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves) - A tangy and herb-infused delight.
• Feta cheese. A classic - I sometimes drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
• Olives. No meze spread is complete without olives.

What else should I put out? Or is that enough? We're having about 20 people.

I would put all of them on the table, as well as keftedakia (meatballs), kaseri cheese wedges, greek fries with oregano, and saganaki (fried cheese)!!

I would do the same! All these dishes sound good. Of course, it will depend on how many people you have. If it's around 10 more more you can never have too much food. My Easter crowd is pretty small this year - putting all the dishes out might be a bit much, especially with lamb.
