Ingredients

Scale

For the Skewers

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced into thick rounds
  • 6 oz feta cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Fresh mint or parsley leaves
  • Small wooden skewers or toothpicks

For the Lemon Herb Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumber: Cut the cucumber into thick, even rounds to create a sturdy base for each bite, ensuring they hold up well on the skewers.
  2. Assemble the skewers: Layer each skewer by threading a cucumber round, followed by a cube of feta cheese, a cherry tomato, and optionally a folded slice of red onion for added flavor and texture.
  3. Repeat assembly: Continue layering the ingredients on the skewers until all components are used, making sure each skewer is well balanced.
  4. Prepare the lemon herb drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly emulsified.
  5. Drizzle or serve on side: Pour the lemon herb dressing over the assembled skewers or serve it separately as a dipping sauce for optimal flavor enhancement.
  6. Garnish and chill: Add fresh mint or parsley leaves atop the skewers for garnish and refrigerate them briefly to allow flavors to meld and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Optional: Include red onion slices if you prefer a mild, pungent flavor contrast.
  • Make sure cucumber slices are thick enough to support the skewered ingredients without breaking.
  • For a vegan version, replace feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • You can prepare skewers ahead of time and keep refrigerated until serving.
  • Adjust seasoning in the drizzle to taste, adding more lemon juice or honey as desired.
