Ingredients

Scale

1 large cucumber, cut into thick half-moon slices
6 oz feta cheese, cut into small cubes
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp dried oregano
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Start by washing your fresh produce. Rinse the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives thoroughly to remove any dirt. Once cleaned, slice the cucumber into thick half-moons, ensuring they hold their shape on the skewers. Then, cut the feta cheese into small bite-sized cubes. This will create a perfect balance with the larger vegetables on the skewers.
Grab your skewers and begin assembling the ingredients! Start by threading on a cherry tomato, followed by a cube of feta cheese, then a cucumber slice, and finish with a Kalamata olive. Keep alternating until your skewers are filled or you reach your desired length. This colorful arrangement not only looks appealing but also allows for a delightful mix of flavors in every bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper. This zesty dressing will enhance the flavors of the ingredients in the skewers, adding a vibrant taste that is quintessentially Mediterranean. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring it’s balanced and provides that perfect zing!
Arrange your beautifully assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle the zesty olive oil mixture over them, allowing each skewer to soak in those wonderful flavors. For a final touch, sprinkle fresh dill or parsley on top for an added layer of herbaceous aroma. Serve these chilled or at room temperature for the best experience.

Notes

Pair these skewers with a refreshing tzatziki dip for a flavor boost!
