Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 12 pieces kalamata olives
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice off a small part of the bottom so they can stand upright. Set aside.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into 12 evenly thick slices (about 1/4 inch each).
Cut the feta cheese into 12 small cubes, approximately the same size as the cucumber slices.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and dried oregano to make a simple dressing.
Assemble the Mediterranean Morsels by stacking a slice of cucumber, a cube of feta cheese, a cherry tomato, and an olive on a toothpick.
Drizzle the prepared olive oil dressing over the assembled stacks using a spoon.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
