These appetizers are are really tasty and will totally remind you of a Greek salad. I put a few of these together to take this photo for this post, and my husband wanted to know where they were once I was done. I had to confess that that I'd eaten almost all of them. Sheepish grin.
You could also add thin slices of red onion and a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice to these skewers if you'd like... or how about small slices of green bell pepper and bits of Romaine lettuce?
You could also go with an Italian version and make caprese salad skewers or prosciutto wrapped cherry tomato, basil, and mozarella bites.
We are heading into appetizer season... the holidays, bowl games, cocktail parties, all great opportunities to try these Greek salad skewers.

Greek Salad Skewer Appetizers
ingredients
- 1/4 English cucumber, cut into 8 slices, and cut in half
- 4 ounces feta cheese, cut into 16 pieces
- 8 pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half
- 8 grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black or mixed peppercorn pepper
instructions
- Thread each of 16 toothpicks with a tomato, olive, piece of feta, and a cucumber slice.
- Place the skewers on a serving plate, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Grind the pepper over the skewers and serve.
This is neat idea. I have made caprese salad skewers, but I never thought to try making other little salad bites.
