Ingredients
- Feta Cheese
- Cucumber
- Skewers
- Olive Oil
- Herbs (fresh dill or mint)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into bite-sized chunks, about 1 inch thick, to ensure they fit nicely on the skewers.
- Cube the Feta: Cut the feta cheese into cubes that are roughly the same size as the cucumber pieces. This will make the skewering process much easier.
- Skewering: Take a skewer and alternate threading a piece of cucumber and a cube of feta. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at each end for easy handling.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once you’ve assembled all the skewers, lightly drizzle them with olive oil. This not only adds flavor but also helps keep everything moist during grilling.
- Season: Sprinkle your chosen herbs over the skewers, along with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to get creative and add other spices or seasonings you enjoy.
- Grill or Chill: If you want to grill the skewers, preheat your grill to medium heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the feta is slightly softened. If you prefer a cold appetizer, simply chill the skewers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
