Greek Salad Skewer Appetizer

Makes 4 to 6

 

INGREDIENTS

24 grape tomatoes

6 oz. whole block feta*, cut into 12 (1-inch) cubes

24 black pitted whole olives

12 cucumber halves, sliced ½-inch thick

12 (6-inch) wood skewers

Vinaigrette

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

½ lemon, juiced

1 garlic clove, pressed

1 tsp. fresh minced oregano

salt and fresh ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the skewers as follows: tomato, olive, feta (be very gentle with feta), cucumber, olive, and tomato. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining skewers.

Right before serving, drizzle the skewers with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.

 

NOTES

*look for feta sold in brine solution – it is moist and crumbles less when cut
