Necessary ingredients:
- 200 g feta cheese (or goat cheese for a more intense variant)
- 200 g cherry tomatoes (or regular tomatoes cut into cubes)
- 1 small red onion
- 1 cucumber (optional, for extra freshness)
- Kalamata olives (optional, for an authentic taste)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers for serving

Preparation:
1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by cutting the feta cheese into cubes of about 2 cm. If you prefer a creamier cheese, you can choose goat cheese, which will add a distinct note to the salad.
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. If using regular tomatoes, make sure to cut them into cubes similar in size to the cheese for a uniform look on the skewers.
3. Slice the red onion thinly and then cut into smaller pieces. This will add a slightly spicy taste, but if you prefer something milder, you can opt for white onion or soak it in cold water for 10 minutes.
4. If you choose to use cucumber, cut it into thin rounds or cubes, depending on your preference.

Assembly:
5. Now, prepare the wooden skewers. Start by inserting a cube of feta cheese onto each skewer, followed by a half cherry tomato, a piece of red onion, and, if desired, an olive. You can repeat this process to create a small “torch” of ingredients.
6. Continue assembling the skewers until all ingredients are used. Sprinkle dried oregano and a dash of salt and pepper on top.

Serving:
7. Arrange the skewers on a platter and drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil for added flavor. This Greek salad on skewers can be served as an appetizer or snack at any occasion.

Variation suggestions:
- For a more intense flavor, you can add some pieces of bell pepper or green olives.
- If you want to turn this recipe into a main dish, add grilled chicken cubes to the skewers.
