Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced and quartered
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Assembly
- 12 small wooden skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and cheese: Slice and quarter the cucumber, cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes, and thinly slice the red onion. Gather the cherry tomatoes and pitted Kalamata olives.
- Toss the ingredients with dressing: In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and feta cubes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the dried oregano, and season with salt and black pepper. Gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Assemble the skewers: Take one small wooden skewer or toothpick and thread one cherry tomato, one piece of cucumber, one olive, and one cube of feta onto it. Repeat this process for all 12 skewers until all ingredients are used.
- Serve the skewers: Arrange the completed skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the skewers for extra flavor. Serve the skewers chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing appetizer.
Notes
- Use a block of feta cheese rather than crumbled for better texture on the skewers.
- For added flavor, try adding fresh basil leaves or a light drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
- These skewers can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
