HEALTHY - And did I mention that each little salad skewer has only 11 calories?
MAKE AHEAD - The best appetizers are the ones you can make ahead of time.
Ingredients
CUCUMBERS - I prefer English cucumbers (also known as hothouse cucumbers) for this recipe.
TOMATOES - You'll want to use grape or cherry tomatoes for this recipe.
FETA CHEESE - Good feta cheese makes our taste buds sing. I prefer to buy feta cheese in brine because you'll get a lovely salty boost.
How To Make Salad On a Stick
- CHEESE - Cut the block of feta cheese into bite-sized squares.
- VEGGIES - Slice the cucumber twice lengthwise so you'll have little triangles. Next, cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
- ASSEMBLY - Use a small skewer and assemble.
Recipe Success Tips
Because Feta cheese is such a flavorful ingredient, you won't need to add additional seasoning.
The first time I prepped Salad On A Stick the night before the event, I was a bit nervous. Cucumbers can be pretty watery. And I feared that I might wake up to a tray full of runny salad skewer mush.
Thankfully, that didn't happen. Instead, this simple Greek Salad inspired skewer looked perfect the next day. And it became an instant crowd pleaser.
