Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 6 oz feta cheese, cut into cubes
• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced into half-moons
• 1 small green bell pepper, cored and cut into squares
• 10 to 12 cherry or grape tomatoes
• 10 to 12 pitted kalamata olives
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• juice from 1/2 lime
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

I start by preparing all the ingredients, cutting the feta, cucumber, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.

I assemble the skewers by threading a piece of cucumber, a cube of feta, a tomato, a piece of bell pepper, and an olive onto each skewer. I repeat until all ingredients are used.

In a small bowl, I mix the minced garlic, lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano to create a simple dressing.

I drizzle the dressing over the skewers or brush it lightly onto each one to coat them evenly.

I serve them immediately or chill them briefly for a more refreshing taste.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings.

I usually need around 10 minutes to prepare everything, making it perfect for a quick and healthy option.

Variations

I like adding red onion slices or swapping the green bell pepper for red or yellow ones for extra color.

Sometimes I include grilled chicken or shrimp to turn these skewers into a more filling meal. I can also use balsamic glaze instead of the dressing for a sweeter twist.

Storage/Reheating

I store the skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

I don’t reheat them, but I prefer serving them chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
