Ingredients
Veggies and Cheese
- 2 cucumbers
- 1 small container cherry or grape tomatoes (about 1 cup)
- 1 small block white cheese (Pepper Jack, Monterrey Jack, or Swiss) – about 6 oz
Others
- Wooden skewers, medium length, about 6-8 inches long
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice each cucumber into thick rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, to serve as the base portion of your skewers.
- Slice the Cheese: Cut the block of white cheese into similarly sized cubes or small slices that will stack well on the skewers along with the vegetables.
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Rinse the cherry or grape tomatoes under cold water and pat dry. These will add a fresh burst of flavor and help form the ‘tree’ shape.
- Assemble the Skewers: Take a wooden skewer and thread on one slice of cucumber first to form the base. Next, add a piece of cheese, followed by a cherry tomato, and repeat layering until the skewer is full, leaving some space at the end of the skewer for handling.
- Chill and Serve: Once all skewers are assembled, refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a healthy snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use medium-length skewers to make the skewers easy to handle and eat.
- You can substitute the cheese type based on preference or dietary needs, such as using a vegan cheese alternative.
- For added flavor, drizzle with a light vinaigrette or sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
- These skewers can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
