Of course you could simply make a salad, but this is more fun, and the kabobs make delightfully unusual after-school snacks or perfectly cheerful summer appetizers. If you like bell peppers, feel free to add those too!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Thread the marinated feta, cucumber, tomatoes, and olives onto the skewers, alternating and arranging them however you like. (Tip: Push the skewers slowly and gently through the cheese cubes so that they won’t be inclined to crumble.) Serve right away.
