Creating Feta Skewers with Cucumber is a simple yet enjoyable process. Just follow these straightforward steps:
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all necessary ingredients. If desired, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning if grilling.
- Cube Feta: Cut the feta cheese into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even assembly.
- Slice Cucumber: Cut the cucumber into thick slices, about 1-inch in width.
- Optional – Cherry Tomatoes: If using, wash and dry the cherry tomatoes.
- Marinate (optional): In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in the feta cubes and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the cucumber slices onto the skewers, alternating with feta cubes and cherry tomatoes if using. Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at each end for easy handling.
- Season Further: After all skewers are assembled, sprinkle additional salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve: Place the skewers on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs for added color and aroma.
