Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into half-inch chunks
- 1/2 red onion, cut into small squares

- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
Seasoning and Garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Assembly
- 12 small wooden skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Cut cucumbers into half-inch chunks, red onion into small squares, and feta cheese into 3/4-inch cubes. Ensure Kalamata olives are pitted for easy threading.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread one cherry tomato, one cucumber chunk, one piece of red onion, one cube of feta, and one Kalamata olive onto each wooden skewer or toothpick. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used up, making 12 skewers in total.
- Season Skewers: Arrange the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle them evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the skewers to taste, enhancing their Mediterranean flavors.
- Serve: Serve the skewers chilled or at room temperature as a light appetizer or side dish, perfect for entertaining or a healthy snack option.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or a splash of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Use a firm block of feta cheese so it holds its shape nicely on the skewers without crumbling.
- To add variety, consider including pieces of bell pepper or fresh basil leaves with the other ingredients on the skewers.
