No-Cook Appetizer Skewers Prep Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 4-6 (Makes 12 skewers)

You’ll need:

• 12 8-inch wooden skewers

Ingredients:

• 1 small organic cucumber, cut into 12 equally thick slices
• 8 oz. block Feta cheese, cut into 12 equal-size chunks
• 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, any color
• 12 large black olives, pitted

To Serve:

• High-quality extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Prepare the Base: Start by arranging the cucumber slices on a serving platter. These will serve as the base for your skewers and provide a fresh, crisp bite.
2. Add the Feta: Place a chunk of Feta cheese on top of each cucumber slice. The creamy and tangy Feta pairs wonderfully with the refreshing cucumber.
3. Skewer Assembly: Gently press the flat end of a wooden skewer through the cheese and cucumber until secure. Then, add a tomato, followed by a black olive to top each skewer. The juicy tomatoes and briny olives add vibrant color and a burst of flavor.
4. Season and Serve: Right before serving, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the skewers. The olive oil adds richness and enhances the Mediterranean flavors. Sprinkle with dried Italian seasoning for an aromatic touch. Finally, season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

These appetizer skewers are not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors and textures.

This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can experiment with different ingredients to suit your taste. Try using different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or mozzarella, for a variation. You can also add other vegetables, like bell peppers or zucchini, for added color and crunch.

These skewers are perfect for entertaining. They can be assembled quickly and easily, making them an ideal choice for last-minute gatherings. They also make a great addition to any picnic or potluck, as they are easy to transport and can be served at room temperature.
