Everything You Need for a Mother’s Day Grazing Board
The Centerpiece:
Sugartown’s Tasmanian Smoked Trout (½ to 1 lb, depending on guests and appetite)
16 oz Hummus of your choosing
DIY Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Line a sheet tray with foil and coat with cooking spray. Coat the canned chickpeas with seasoning and bake in a 350 degree F oven until cooked and dry. Roughly 15-20 minutes. You can leave in oven turned off for up to 5 minutes to get the crunch you desire.
Creamy + Dreamy Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (2% milk or Fage dairy free)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, better quality use Hellmann’s or Duke’s
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice (Meyer lemon if you can find at the store)
- 1 teaspoon dried garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped dill or ½ teaspoon of dried
- ½ teaspoon of salt, kosher
Mix ingredients well. Refrigerate until use.
Spring Veggies & Bright Bites:
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- Cucumber ribbons or rounds
- Sliced radishes (optional)
-
Fresh herbs like dill, mint, or chives
Breads & Crackers:
- Mini Pita or sliced triangles Sourdough crostini
-
Buttery crackers or seeded flatbreads
Extras Just for Her:
- A small bowl of berries or sliced fruit for sweetness
-
Edible flowers (optional, but stunning!)
- Lemon wedges for brightness
How to Assemble with Love
- Spread your favorite creamy hummus. Using a large spoon move back and forth across the board or platter to spread across the area you want to build your palette.
- Layer in your veggies and herbs. Think in little clusters, tucking in pops of color and flavor around the board.
- Start with the smoked salmon. Fold or flake it gently and arrange it front and center on your favorite platter or board.
- Tuck in the breads. Arrange crackers, and pita slices in fan shapes for easy grabbing.
- Finish with thoughtful touches. A sprinkle of fresh herbs, a flourish of edible flowers, or a sweet note tucked beside the board can go a long way.
Make Ahead Instructions
- The yogurt sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- The salad can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
- The chickpeas are best made before serving, but they can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead and stored at room temperature; if necessary, you can crisp them back up by reheating in a 350°F-oven until hot.
-
The hummus board is best assembled right before serving.
Make It Even More Memorable: Entertaining Tips
