Ingredients
Scale
Salad Skewers
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 English cucumber, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 block feta cheese, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 red onion, sliced into small wedges
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
- Wooden skewers
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and feta: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Dice the English cucumber and the block of feta cheese into bite-sized pieces. Slice the red onion into small wedges to ensure easy threading.
- Assemble the skewers: Take wooden skewers and thread the ingredients alternately: cherry tomato half, cucumber piece, feta cube, red onion wedge, and Kalamata olive. This alternating pattern creates a colorful, eye-pleasing presentation.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
- Dress and serve: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the assembled skewers just before serving to maintain the freshness and crispness of the vegetables.
Notes
- For added freshness, chill the skewers in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning if grilling is desired as a variation.
- These skewers can be customized by adding bell peppers or fresh herbs like mint or parsley.
- Serve with pita bread or tzatziki sauce for a fuller Mediterranean experience.
