Skewered Greek Salad
It’s amazing how simple wooden skewers can transform a dinner standby into cocktail party fare! These look beautiful as part of a buffet spread but work equally well as a passed hors d’oeuvre since there’s no need for a plate. Best of all, they can be made well ahead of time; just wait to add the vinaigrette until right before serving. Elegant and simple.

Preparation
Step 1
For the skewers: Thread the skewers starting with a tomato, then a cube of feta cheese, an olive, a piece of onion, and finally another tomato. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and skewers.
Step 2
For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and half of the oregano. Whisk in the olive oil until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Spoon the vinaigrette over the skewers and sprinkle with the remaining oregano.
Cook’s Note
Step 4
Buy feta packed in water; it is moist and easier to skewer, and it won’t crumble.
