This makes a show-stopping way to truly impress family and friends alike. They are simple (can be made the day before, covered and in the refrigerator until ready to serve).

 

• 1/2 English cucumber cut in 1/2 inch slices, peel on
• 1/2 red onion,  cut in 3/4 inch squares
• 24 cherry tomatoes
• 1 container of Feta cheese, cut in 24 small triangles, 1/2 inch thick
• 24 pitted black olives
• 24 small skewers

 

Using thin bamboo skewers (buy in bags – they have a curly end) thread all onto skewers, making each one the same, keeping the cheese on the top and the cherry tomato the first on.

 

Dressing

• 1/2 tsp. garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• pinch of sugar
• 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 3 tbsp. olive oil

In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients together, whisking to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate until ready to show off,  just a little.

Drizzle the dressing over the skewers and serve. Oh,by the way, serve with ice cold beer or,  if wanting to stay Mediterranean, make a Sangria.
