Greek Salad Skewers drizzled with Greek dressing |
We may have lost the ballgame with A&M, but these Greek Salad Skewers were a winner at our Grove tent.
I had some of these in a Hilton executive lounge a while back and thought they would make great party food. They do, and were a perfect addition to a Grove table.
There are plenty of recipes for these around the Internet. Just do a Google search and find the one that looks best to you. Here's how we made ours:
- Feta cheese cubes
- Grape tomatoes (the smaller the better, if used whole)
- Kalamata olives, halved
- Small piece of sweet onion (a square cut from a single ring)
- One-quarter of a slice of English Cucumber
- A tiny piece of romaine lettuce
- Salt and pepper
Simply skewer the items in the order that looks best to you. The toothpicks we used were too small. Try to find some longer toothpicks, perhaps using sword toothpicks, or some other type of skewer.
Make a Greek Salad Dressing of your choice and drizzle over the skewers 30 minutes before serving. The Greek dressing we made was a little bland so I added three tablespoons of Wishbone Italian. Season with salt and pepper.
These might work well with the feta cheese cube on the bottom, as it will allow the skewer to stand straight up. Also, I think it might be good to have the Greek Dressing in little bowl as a dip rather than drizzled over the top.
You can just make this one your own. I can think of dozens variation on this theme, all of which sound good to me.
