Best Feta Cucumber Salad Bites 

These Feta Cucumber Salad Bites are a cross between your favorite feta cucumber salad and crunchy cucumber appetizer. The perfect last-minute bite-size appetizer for those summer BBQ parties coming up.

I’m one of those people going super light on my meals right now. No more sauces, no more heavy pasta and no desserts! But maybe just a little bread and pizza.

Most of all I feel I need cleaner, healthier foods, and lots of BBQ fun!  On this journey to healthier eating, this recipe for cucumber salad or cucumber appetizers is definitely a favorite!

WHY CUCUMBER SALAD

Cucumber is totally refreshing for the summer! It’s one of those MUST have things on the table and for a good reason–it’s tasty!

This cucumber salad has a Mediterranean flare. The feta mixture is out of this world and makes the cucumber crunch pop with flavors.

The feta, paired with fresh herbs, olives and chilli is a perfect match for these Feta Cucumber Salad Bites. While I’ve made the filling using my favorite spices, you can totally play around with the ingredients!

Do you remember I made those delicious Mini Zesty Feta Stuffed Peppers a few months ago? At that time I made them for the Big Game and I broiled them slightly to get a nice char on them, but they would be even better on the grill!

I’ve used the same zesty feta filling, so once you make that fresh tasting feta filling, use it for both recipes!

BEST CUCUMBER APPETIZERS

These Feta Cucumber Salad Bites are the perfect last-minute bite-size appetizer for those summer BBQ parties coming up. Think of them as a cross between your favorite feta cucumber salad and crunchy cucumber bites.

These taste so fresh. Slightly tangy and salty, and at the same time spicy and zesty with the perfect crunch from the fresh cucumber! Just a burst of sunshine in every bite.

HOW TO MAKE CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE

This cucumber appetizer comes together very easily! Take a large cucumber and split it in half lengthwise. You’ll then scoop out the seeds using a spoon. You cucumber will now look like a boat.

The filling for the cucumber salad is so easy to whip up. Just stir together some feta cheese, garlic, sour cream, herbs, chilli, chopped olives, lemon, scallions, olive oil and Zaatar spice blend.

You can find the recipe for the filling in my post for these Mini Zesty Feta Stuffed Peppers too!

Once you scoop the filling inside, you’ll simply cut up the cucumber salad into bite-sized pieces, about an inch wide. Now you’ll be gobbling them up one after the other like I did while taking the photos.

Fire up your grill, and munch on those cucumber salad bites while you wait for your food to be ready. I am sure you will enjoy this healthy bite-size appetizer!

And finally, while we’re all about quick appetizers for the season, can I just say this amazing Quick Appetizer with Fruit and Cheese is absolutely divine too! Made with just apricots, bocconcini and balsamic vinegar! Or my Strawberry Caprese Salad, Summer Pasta Salad Platter With Sweet Tea Dressing, Summer Salad With Fruits & Basil. Pure LOVE, you can’t miss 🙂
