Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 24 oz Cherry Tomatoes rinsed
  • 1 large English Cucumber cut into 1-inch thick half-moons or quarters if very thick
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese block, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 cup Kalamata Olives pitted
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion cut into 3/4-inch pieces, separated
  • 1 medium Green Bell Pepper deseeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
For the Greek Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste

Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • 16 small wooden skewers (6-inch)
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

Prepare the Dressing
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare Ingredients for Skewers
  1. Ensure all vegetables are rinsed and thoroughly dried. Cut the cucumber, feta cheese, red onion, and green bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, roughly 3/4-inch to 1-inch, suitable for skewering.
Assemble the Skewers
  1. Carefully thread the ingredients onto the wooden skewers, alternating for color and texture. A suggested order is: cherry tomato, cucumber, feta cube, Kalamata olive, red onion piece, green bell pepper, and repeat. Aim for 4-5 pieces per skewer, ensuring a variety of ingredients.
  2. Continue until all ingredients are used, aiming for approximately 16 skewers.
Dress and Serve
  1. Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle the prepared Greek dressing generously over the skewers, ensuring each piece gets a coating. You can also serve the dressing on the side for dipping.
  2. Serve immediately, or chill for a short period before serving for an even more refreshing appetizer. Enjoy!

Notes

For an extra touch, you can briefly soak wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes before use, especially if you plan to grill them later (though this recipe is raw). These skewers are best enjoyed fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated. Drizzle with dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess. Add a fresh mint leaf for a pop of extra freshness!
