Greek Salad Skewers are a quick and easy appetizer perfect for any party or celebration. I made these tasty little bites for this month's Mediterranean Progressive Eats Dinner.
This month's Progressive Eats Dinner theme is Mediterranean and is being hosted by Megan of Stetted. I was pretty excited for this one because I love Mediterranean flavors but don't make them near often enough. It's been ages since I made my whipped feta spread!
These Greek Salad Skewers are so quick and easy that they are going to be my new go-to appetizer for every get together!
There are just a few ingredients: fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion along with Kalamata olives and Feta cheese. I made a quick vinaigrette for drizzling over the skewers and it was ready to go in under 15 minutes.
This recipe makes 12 skewers but it is easy enough to double for a crowd. My kids were scooped these up and were begging for more.
These appetizers are just so bright and flavorful and are great for any celebration, from New Year's Eve celebrations to the 4th of July, they are perfectly simple!
You can find those cute little bamboo skewers from Amazon!

Welcome to Progressive Eats, our virtual version of a progressive dinner party. This month's theme is Mediterranean Food and is hosted by Megan Myers who blogs at Stetted. Try something new for the New Year; a mix of appetizers, salads, main dish and desserts all featuring recipes with a Mediterranean look and feel.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept, a progressive dinner involves going from house to house, enjoying a different course at each location. With Progressive Eats, a theme is chosen each month, members share recipes suitable for a delicious meal or party, and you can hop from blog to blog to check them out.
We have a core group of 12 bloggers, but we will always need substitutes and if there is enough interest would consider additional groups. To see our upcoming themes and how you can participate, please check out the schedule at Creative Culinary or contact Barb for more information.

Love how easy these look; I can see why you would put them on a list. And why I'll do the same. No grilling or baking? Perfect!

These are delicious but I had trouble keeping the feta cheese from crumbling and falling off the skewers; any suggestions?

I'd like to know as well - thanks

My gym teacher wants me to eat greek salad everyday. He told me that it was one of the healthiest salad ever. He was Greek and he referred me to eat at El Greco, his favorite greek food restaurant. I agree with him. Their rotisserie chicken, pita wraps, salad and kebabs are all healthy. It helped me a lot in my body and fitness goal. Good thing, I had some discounts and offers when I tried their online-orders.
