Ingredients

For the Skewers

1 large Cucumber Provides a refreshing crunch and structure; substitute with zucchini for a variation.
1 cup Feta Cheese Adds a creamy and tangy flavor; for a lower-calorie option, use low-fat feta.
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Contributes sweetness and juiciness; can be swapped with diced bell peppers for a different flavor.
0.5 cup Kalamata Olives Introduces a salty depth; green olives can be used as a milder alternative.

For the Dressing

1 4 Olive Oil Serves as the base for the dressing, enhancing flavors; use avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens the dish and enhances freshness; lime juice works as a substitute.
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Adds earthy Mediterranean notes; fresh oregano can be used instead.
0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper Provides a mild warmth; alternatively, use freshly cracked black pepper for more spice.

For Garnish

2 tablespoons Fresh Dill or Parsley Offers additional flavor and visual appeal; cilantro can be used for a unique twist.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Feta & Cucumber Bite Skewers

Begin by washing your fresh produce. Cut the cucumber into thick half-moon slices, about 1 inch wide. Next, cube the feta cheese into small, bite-sized pieces.
Take toothpicks or mini skewers and start assembling your bites. Begin with a cucumber slice, followed by a feta cube, add a cherry tomato, and finish with a Kalamata olive on top.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Once the skewers are assembled, drizzle the dressing lightly over them. Sprinkle fresh dill or parsley on top for added color and flavor.
Arrange the finished skewers on a large platter and serve immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
