Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Fruits
- 1 large cucumber, cut into thick half-moon slices
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish
Dairy
- 6 oz feta cheese, cut into small cubes
Olives
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
For the Dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the produce: Rinse and dry all produce thoroughly to ensure freshness and cleanliness. Slice the cucumber into thick half-moon pieces and cut the feta cheese into small, bite-sized cubes.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread each skewer in the following order: start with one cherry tomato, then a cube of feta, followed by one cucumber slice, and finish with a Kalamata olive. Repeat for all skewers until all ingredients are used.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful and tangy dressing.
- Dress the skewers: Arrange the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle the lemon and olive oil mixture evenly over the skewers to coat them with the zesty dressing.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped dill or parsley over the skewers as a garnish. Serve the skewers chilled for a refreshing and delicious Mediterranean appetizer.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the feta cubes in olive oil and herbs for 30 minutes before assembling.
- Use wooden or bamboo skewers to keep the bites secure and easy to handle.
- These skewers are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Feel free to substitute fresh oregano for dried if available.
- For a vegan version, replace feta cheese with firm tofu or vegan cheese cubes.
