Easy Greek Salad Appetizer Bites!



Greek Salad Appetizer Bites:

Organic grape tomatoes
Organic vegan Feta cheese block (not crumbles) - Here's a vegan feta cheese recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but didn't want to remove the recipe because I love this ease and versatility of it.
Organic cucumber
Organic olives of your choice (pitted)
Organic extra virgin olive oil
Decorative toothpicks

First, slice cucumber into 1/2 inch slices then quarter each slice. Next, cut the feta into 1/2 inch squares, halve the grape tomatoes, and rinse your olives. Drizzle small amount of olive oil onto the serving dish/tray. Enough for dipping, but not so that each bite is soaking in oil. I pour the oil into a tablespoon first and use that to spread onto the dish.

Finally start by putting each ingredient onto the toothpick; olive followed by tomato, feta, and cucumber, in that order. Putting the cucumber on the bottom ensures they have a stable base and stand straight up.

So Easy! Enjoy!


Healthy Lifestyle Tip: If you're going to a party and are worried about snacking on some unhealthy apps, bring your own! This is a great option and can be made easily in large quantities! Being prepared and planning is half the battle!
