Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 16–20 wooden skewers (4-inch), soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. Wash and prepare all vegetables: slice cucumber into half-moons, halve cherry tomatoes, and cut red onion into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Pat dry the feta cheese and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
  4. Arrange all prepared ingredients in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  5. Thread ingredients onto skewers in this order: cucumber, cherry tomato, feta cheese, Kalamata olive, and red onion. Repeat pattern if using longer skewers.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano (if using), salt, and pepper.
  7. Arrange skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with the prepared dressing.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs if using and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
  • To reduce the sharpness of red onion, soak sliced pieces in ice water for 10 minutes before using.
  • For make-ahead preparation, assemble skewers up to 2 hours in advance and add dressing just before serving.
