Ingredients
  

1 pint cherry tomatoes, rinsed

8 oz feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, washed and patted dry

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Skewers (either wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to assembly to minimize the risk of burning while grilling.

    Assemble the Skewers: Begin by threading a cherry tomato onto each skewer. Follow this with a fresh basil leaf, and then add a cube of feta cheese. Continue this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving approximately an inch of space at both ends for easier handling.

      Mix the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Whisk together until well blended, creating a flavorful dressing.

        Drizzle the Dressing: Place your assembled skewers on a large serving platter. Use a spoon to drizzle the dressing generously over the skewers, ensuring that each skewer receives a good dose of the zesty flavor.

          Serve: These vibrant skewers can be enjoyed right away, or for enhanced flavor, let them marinate for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve them as a delightful appetizer or a colorful side dish and enjoy!
