Mini Tomato Salad Skewers

These delicious little treats are the perfect summer app to serve alongside your BBQ fare.

For the dressing:

• ½ cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove of garlic, pressed
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the skewers:

• 1 cup red grape tomatoes (slice if you feel they’re too large)
• 1 cup yellow grape tomatoes (slice if you feel they’re too large)
• ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
• 3 oz halloumi cheese
• 16 mini cocktail wood skewers

Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl, set aside. On medium heat BBQ, sear the block of halloumi cheese until grill marks form, approximately 3 minutes per side. Once cheese has cooled slightly, chop into 1 inch cubes. Stack onto skewers, tomato, olive, tomato, cheese, tomato. Brush skewers with dressing, leaving some aside for dipping. Serves 6-8.
