Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 large Cucumber Provides a crisp, refreshing base; substitute zucchini for a similar crunch.
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Adds creamy texture and tanginess; low-fat feta can be used as a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Contributes sweetness and a pop of color; grape tomatoes can also work.
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives Brings a briny depth of flavor; green olives offer a milder taste.
For the Dressing
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil Enhances flavor; avocado oil is a great alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the dish with acidity; white wine vinegar is a substitute.
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano Infuses an aromatic note; Italian seasoning can be substituted.
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper Adds a hint of spice; adjust to taste.
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill or Parsley Adds flavor and visual appeal; chives or cilantro can be used.

Equipment
