Ingredients
1pintcherry or grape tomatoes(halved if they are large)
1large cucumber(cut into bite-size pieces)
1(9.5oz)jar of pitted kalamata olives(drained)
1(8oz)chunk of feta(cut into 36 cubes)
1bottle of Greek or Italian dressing
small skewers
Instructions
Marinate the cucumber pieces, cherry tomatoes, and olives in a bowl with your favorite Greek or Italian salad dressing. Marinate the feta cubes in a separate bowl so that they don't fall apart when you toss everything together. You can do this overnight or a few hours before you're ready to assemble them.
Assemble the skewers by layering the olives, tomatoes, cucumber, and feta last. The square chunks of feta help them stand up straight if you want them to look fancy on a plate.
Notes
You may be able to leave your tomatoes whole if they're small enough. I think this would actually look nicer, but mine were too big for my skewers.
For added pizzazz, you can sprinkle on a little parsley or dill once the skewers are assembled.
If you're trying to avoid gluten, please check the salad dressing label to make sure it's gluten-free.
