These Olive skewers are more than just a recipe; they’re a celebration of the Mediterranean’s diverse and healthful cuisine.

Ingredients: A Palette of Vibrant Flavors
- Garden Vegetables: Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onions. Each vegetable adds its unique texture and taste, creating a colorful and balanced ensemble.
- Kalamata Olives: These dark, rich olives are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, adding a tangy and slightly salty flavor.
- Marinade: A simple yet flavorful blend of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and Italian herbs infuses the skewers with classic Mediterranean aromas.
Preparation: Crafting Your Skewers
- Marinating the Vegetables: Start by chopping the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and Italian herbs. This step not only adds flavor but also ensures that the vegetables are tender and juicy.
- Assembling the Skewers: Thread the marinated veggies and kalamata olives onto skewers. The key is to balance the colors and textures for an appealing presentation.
- Grilling to Perfection: Grill the skewers until the vegetables are slightly charred. This not only cooks them but also adds a delightful smoky flavor, reminiscent of Mediterranean outdoor cooking.
- Serving with a Mediterranean Twist: Serve the skewers with a sprinkle of fresh basil and vegan feta crumbles. This final touch brings a fresh and creamy element to the dish, enhancing its Mediterranean character.
