Greek Salad Skewers – Perfect Keto Appetizer
I love Greek salad and thought this was a perfect way to fancy it up and serve it as a snack at picnics or an appetizer at holiday feasts. These Greek Salad Skewers are naturally ketogenic, making them a great choice to serve at mixed-diet gatherings.
This quick and easy no-cook naturally keto appetizer recipe is perfect for warmer weather, but it is substantial enough to enjoy year-round. As written, this recipe serves as a light appetizer for 4 to 6 people. However, it can easily be scaled for more substantial portions and/or larger gatherings, as well.
To this recipe I would add bacon as well, bacon is immaculate and takes any dish up a notch, wouldn’t you agree? You could add prosciutto to stick with the fancier theme.

What’s so good about these skewers?
Honestly, the best part about these Greek salad skewers is that they are so easy to make and everyone will love them. They are also relatively affordable too, with the only ingredient that may cost a little more is the feta cheese.
Unfortunately, you probably shouldn’t substitute the feta cheese because then they won’t have that Greek feel to them. I mean, you can substitute it for others but then you’d have to call them something else!
