Cherry Tomato & Herb-Marinated Feta Skewers
Juicy cherry tomatoes paired with herb-marinated feta cubes create a bright, flavorful Mediterranean appetizer ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 12 –16 cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz 225 g firm feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 –3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 –2 tsp dried oregano or Italian herb blend
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Fresh basil or oregano leaves for garnish
- Small wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the feta: Cut feta into small, even cubes. Choose a firm block so the cubes hold their shape on the skewer.
- Marinate the feta: In a small bowl, gently toss the cubes with olive oil, dried oregano, and black pepper. Avoid adding extra salt—feta is already salty.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread cherry tomatoes and feta cubes alternately onto wooden skewers.
- Garnish: Add fresh basil or oregano leaves to each skewer for aroma and a fresh pop of color.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately, or chill for 30–60 minutes before serving for deeper flavor.
Notes
Tips
- Choose firm Greek block feta so it doesn’t crumble.
- Pat tomatoes dry so they pick up seasoning better.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the skewers right before serving for shine and extra flavor.
Variations
- Add a light balsamic drizzle for a sweet tang.
- Add olives for a classic Greek mezze twist.
- Slide in cucumber slices for extra crunch.
- Use flavored olive oil such as garlic, basil, or chili for added depth.
Storage
- Store assembled skewers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Add the fresh herbs just before serving to keep them looking vibrant.
