A Personal Note
This Greek-inspired charcuterie board is one of my favorite ways to create a fresh, high-protein, high-fiber spread that not only looks good but also tastes great. The combination of juicy grilled chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini, and vibrant herbs is both satisfying and straightforward. I love serving it with a creamy herbed yogurt dip — it’s refreshing and ties all the flavors together beautifully.
