Greek Salad Skewers

Submitted by strawberrybird

"Inspired by a recipe on YumSugar.com, this easy appetizer can be scaled down to toothpick size or scaled up to skewer size. An interesting and yummy way to make a greek salad for a party or for everyday."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 8-16 appetizers
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 English cucumbers, sliced and quartered
• kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 1 lb feta cheese, cut into small cubes (block, not crumbled)
• 1 lb kalamata olive, pitted and halved
• 1 lb ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

directions

1. Season the cucumber pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Thread the following onto a cucumber or skewer: cucumber slice, feta, cherry tomato half, olive half. If using toothpicks, this will complete each toothpick. If using skewers, repeat until desired.
3. NOTE: It is easiest to thread the cheese and cucumber on by setting the items on a plate and then stabbing them with the skewer.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve.

Lovely appetizer before our Greek meal. DH says, Greek Salad on a stick, lol. We dipped in a tzatziki sauce I made a few nights ago. Nice and light. Next time I'll make a quick vinaigrette with oregano & garlic to drizzle over to give it a bit more of a zing. Thanks for posting, strawberry bird ! Made during ZWT#9 for my team, Tasty Testers :)
