Why doesn’t Greek salad have lettuce?

Good Greek olive oil is used in a good Greek salad (extra-virgin, of course). For American sensibilities, this may be overly fragrant and pungent. Lettuce, especially iceberg lettuce, which is insipid, is not used in a good Greek salad. A good Greek salad should not be eaten directly from the fridge.

How do you skewer feta without breaking it?

Thread one tomato, feta cube, olive, and cucumber slice onto each skewer to make the skewers. Set out on a serving platter. (To avoid cracking and/or fracturing the feta, hold it tightly between your fingers as you thread it on.)

How do you stop feta crumbling?

For 10 seconds, submerge the feta in freezing cold water. This will remove any remaining brine and make it more stable. Break it up into little pieces using your hands or the tines of a fork for salads. They don’t have to be huge; small pieces will suffice.

What are the ingredients to make Greek Salad Skewers?

This recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare and serves as a light snack for 4 to 6 people. It may, however, be readily scaled up to accommodate larger groups and/or larger parties. The following are the ingredients that you’re going to need:

• Organic cucumber – Simply cut each slice in half if you don’t want it to be too big.
• Feta cheese – It will be moist and will not dry out as quickly.
• Grape or cherry tomatoes – Both grape and cherry tomatoes work well. When skewering tomatoes, make sure they’re not too little or too ripe so they don’t crush when you skewer them.
• Black olives – They’ll have a milder flavor.
• Virgin olive oil – This dish will benefit from the addition of extra virgin olive oil, which will provide much-needed fat.
• Dried Italian seasoning – With a very faint sweetness and a trace of mint, the flavor is savory, earthy, and piney.
• Sea salt and black pepper – Seasonings that most recipes call for.

You will also need 12 8-inch wooden skewers.
