Greek Salad Skewers

The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading all the way through for any tips or substitute suggestions, to ensure that you have any specialized ingredients and equipment required and that you understand the steps and timings involved.

The ingredients in a Greek salad are simple and classic and we’ve taken some of these ingredients and turned them into finger food.

These Greek salad skewers are a quick and easy appetizer for parties, especially in warmer weather, (but can be enjoyed year-round!).

Crunchy cucumber, juicy olives, creamy Feta cheese, and sweet tomatoes are the perfect combo and these skewers can be ready to serve in no time at all.

As written, this recipe serves as a light appetizer for 4 to 6 people. However, it can easily be scaled for more substantial portions and/or larger gatherings, as well.

Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe

While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients (and equipment) needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.

It does not include staple ingredients such as oil, salt, and pepper, as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen already. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.

  • Fresh ProduceCucumber, Cherry Tomatoes
  • DairyFeta Cheese
  • Black OlivesKalamata olives, ideally, but any black olive you prefer is fine
  • Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Italian Seasoningthis recipe uses store-bought Italian Seasoning, but it is so easy to make your own herb mixes, especially if you already have a bunch of herbs and spices in your pantry already. Just mix equal measures of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, and thyme. You can also add a pinch of garlic granules or powder as well as red chili flakes if you like. Store in an airtight jar and use in recipes as required.
  • 8-inch wooden skewers

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Recipe Tips

  • You can assemble the skewers in two ways – as described in the recipe so that they “stand up” on a serving plate, or you can cut chunks of cucumber and thread the ingredients on so that the skewers can lay down and be piled high. Either way is good!
