Greek Salad on a Skewer
4 servings
20 minutes
Greek salad on a skewer is an original interpretation of the classic Greek dish rooted in ancient Mediterranean traditions. This skewer salad combines the freshness of vegetables, the tanginess of feta cheese, and the rich flavor of olives, all brought together with a fragrant dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano. The yellow pepper boats not only serve as a convenient holder for the skewers but also add juicy sweetness to enhance the overall flavor balance. The dish is perfect for buffets and light snacks as it is easy to serve and eat. This serving style makes it an excellent choice for summer picnics or festive tables, allowing one to enjoy classic Greek flavors in a new format.
