• Cucumber: Adds crunch and refreshing coolness. English or Persian cucumbers work best for bite-sized pieces.
• Cherry tomatoes: Juicy, sweet, and the perfect size for skewering.
• Extra-virgin olive oil: Drizzled on top for a rich, silky finish and a boost of Mediterranean flavor.
• Salt and pepper: Enhances the freshness of the vegetables and balances the saltiness of the feta.

How to make cucumber, tomato, and feta skewers

It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

Thread everything onto skewers

Cut the block of feta into small, even cubes. Then thread each skewer with a cherry tomato, a cube of feta, a cucumber piece, another tomato, and another feta.

Serve and enjoy!

Arrange the skewers on a plate and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Your skewers are now ready to enjoy immediately or to be kept chilled until ready to serve.
