Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Small whisk or fork
  • Wooden or bamboo skewers
  • Serving platter or tray

Ingredients
  

For the Skewers:

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium cucumber cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted
  • 8 oz about 225g feta cheese, cut into small cubes
  • Fresh parsley or oregano leaves for garnish (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Wash the cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs thoroughly under cold water.
  • Cut the cucumber into bite-sized chunks, about 1-inch pieces, so they’re easy to skewer and eat.
  • Cut the feta cheese into small, even cubes, roughly the same size as your cucumber pieces. This helps keep each skewer balanced.
  • If your olives aren’t pitted, carefully remove the pits now to make eating easier.
  • Pro tip: Use a sharp knife when cutting feta to avoid crumbling—it helps keep the cubes neat and perfect for skewering.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

  • In a small mixing bowl, add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
  • Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Whisk everything together briskly until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified.
  • Pro tip: Whisk continuously to prevent the oil and vinegar from separating and to blend the flavors smoothly.

Step 3: Assemble the Skewers

  • Take a wooden or bamboo skewer and start threading ingredients in this order for a balanced bite: cherry tomato, cucumber chunk, olive, feta cube, and then repeat if the skewer is long enough.
  • Aim for 3-4 pieces per skewer, depending on their size.
  • Arrange the finished skewers on your serving platter as you go.
  • Pro tip: Alternate colors and textures on each skewer to make them look extra appealing and ensure every bite has a mix of flavors.

Step 4: Dress and Garnish

  • Lightly drizzle the prepared dressing over the assembled skewers or serve it on the side for dipping.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or oregano leaves for an added pop of color and freshness.
  • Pro tip: If you’re not serving immediately, keep the dressing separate until just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and crisp.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Serve your Greek salad skewers as a refreshing appetizer, snack, or side dish.
  • They’re perfect for warm weather gatherings or whenever you want a light, Mediterranean-inspired bite.
  • Pro tip: Pair them with warm pita bread and hummus for a fuller Mediterranean spread your guests will love.
