Ingredients
Scale
Skewers Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 8 oz block feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- Wooden or bamboo skewers
Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh dill or mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well blended to create a light, flavorful vinaigrette.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread one piece each of cucumber chunk, feta cube, cherry tomato, and pitted Kalamata olive onto each wooden or bamboo skewer, repeating the pattern until all ingredients are used, ensuring balanced bites on each skewer.
- Arrange and Dress: Lay the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the skewers for added flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the skewers with fresh dill or mint leaves for extra freshness. Serve immediately for the best texture or chill to serve later as a cool, refreshing appetizer.
Notes
- Use fresh cucumber and ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Chilling the skewers before serving enhances their refreshing quality, especially on warm days.
- For a more robust flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper right before serving.
- These skewers are best enjoyed the same day to maintain the crispness of the cucumber and freshness of the ingredients.
- Wooden or bamboo skewers can be soaked in water for 20 minutes before assembling to prevent burning if you plan to grill them later (optional).
