Greek Salad Bites

Good things come in small packages, right? I'm completely in love with all mini, bite-sized foods right now. I love the way they look lined up, perfectly plated and easy for guests to grab. Small bites have my heart and if I have any say so, the second annual Moore-McConnell New Year's Celebration 2012 will feature a spread entirely made of small bites. Mini grit cakes topped with shrimp and andouille sausage? Somebody hold me. 

For the highly anticipated Olympics Party at our friends' house, Mark and I were in charge of representing the Greeks in the form of food. I knew that these Greek Salad bites were a must and had to make an appearance on the table. These little cuties are easy to assemble, full of flavor and were a giant hit! The olympics may be over, but Football season is just around the corner! These would make a great addition to your Saturday tailgate spread!



Greek Salad Bites

Grape tomatoes, cut in half horizontally
English cucumber, cut into thick rounds then quartered
Kalamata olives, cut in half horizontally
Feta cheese, cubed
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
Oregano
Salt + pepper
Toothpicks

Cut all ingredients and place in a medium sized bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, then season with salt, pepper and oregano. To assemble your bites, start with a feta cube on the bottom. Next, stick on your cucumber and tomato, then finish off with a kalamata half and you're done.

  1. I made these as one of the nibbles for a girls night I hosted a couple of months ago, and we couldn't get enough! So good. I also did white chocolate and Philadelphia cheese stuffed strawberries, as another of my 'mini' food offerings....divine!
