Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1 English Cucumber cut into 1-inch thick half-moons
  • 1/2 small Red Onion thinly sliced and quartered
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives pitted
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese block, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch squares
For the 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
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • 10-12 bamboo skewers (6-inch)

Method
 

Prepare the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified. Set aside.
Assemble the Skewers
  1. Thread the prepared ingredients onto the bamboo skewers, alternating for color and texture. A typical order could be: cherry tomato half, cucumber, feta cube, kalamata olive, red onion piece, green bell pepper, another cherry tomato half. Repeat until all ingredients are used or skewers are full. Aim for 2-3 pieces of each ingredient per skewer.
Serve
  1. Arrange the assembled Greek Salad Skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared Greek dressing just before serving.

Notes

For best results, use firm, fresh vegetables and a good quality block of feta cheese (not crumbled). If making ahead, keep the dressing separate and drizzle just before serving to prevent sogginess. Wooden skewers can be soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to use if preferred, though it's not strictly necessary as there's no cooking involved.
