How to Make Greek Salad Skewers

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Cut the cucumbers into ¼-inch slices.

Cube the feta cheese into bite-sized chunks. Drain the olives.

Step 2: Assemble the Skewers

On each skewer or toothpick, thread in this order: cucumber slice, feta cube, olive, and cherry tomato. Press gently to secure.

Step 3: Arrange and Drizzle

Place all skewers on a large platter.

Drizzle with Greek or Italian dressing.

Garnish with chopped parsley or oregano if using.

Step 4: Chill Before Serving

Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes.

This allows the flavors to meld and keeps the cheese firm.
