Ingredients

Scale

For the Skewers

  • 1 large cucumber, cut into thick half-moon slices
  • 6 oz feta cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

For the Lemon-Olive Oil Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the cucumber into thick half-moon slices and feta cheese into small cubes. Rinse the cherry tomatoes if needed, and pit the Kalamata olives if not already pitted.
  2. Assemble Skewers: Using small toothpicks or mini skewers, layer one slice of cucumber, followed by a cube of feta cheese, then a cherry tomato, and finish with a Kalamata olive on top. Repeat for all skewers.
  3. Arrange Skewers: Place all the prepared skewers neatly on a serving platter, making them easy to grab and visually appealing.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Dress the Skewers: Lightly drizzle the lemon-olive oil mixture over the skewers, ensuring each bite gets a touch of tangy flavor.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finely chop fresh dill or parsley and sprinkle over the skewers for a fresh herbal finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness and freshness of the ingredients.

Notes

  • Use firm feta cheese to ensure it holds its shape on the skewers.
  • If Kalamata olives are too large, cut them into halves or quarters.
  • These skewers are best served fresh; the cucumber can become watery if left too long after assembly.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired, but feta and olives are naturally salty.
