20 wooden skewers
10 small calamari, cleaned, tentacles removed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
1 lemon, juice of
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 tomatoes, seeded and cut into chunks
1 medium red onion, sliced thin

4 lemon wedges, for garnish
4 oregano leaves, fresh, for garnish

Steps:

Soak 20 wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
Rinse the calamari tubes and pat dry.
Split the bodies from top to bottom so you have 2 triangular pieces.

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, dried and fresh oregano, thyme and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
Pour 1/2 of the vinaigrette over the calamari; set the other 1/2 aside while you make the salad.
In a large bowl, add the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, cheese, olives, and romaine.
Pour the remaining vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Let marinate while you grill the calamari.
Heat the grill or a grill pan and oil it lightly.
Grill the calamari for 2 minutes on each side, no longer or they will be tough.
To serve, put the salad onto a large platter and top it with the calamari skewers.
Garnish with fresh oregano leaves and lemon wedges.

Tips:

Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients: For the best-tasting salad, use fresh, ripe vegetables and herbs. Look for brightly colored tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, sweet bell peppers, and fragrant oregano and basil.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and make the salad more visually appealing. Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and the red onion into thin slices.
Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor. Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use a variety of skewers: You can use wooden skewers, metal skewers, or even bamboo skewers. Just make sure that they are long enough to hold all of the vegetables and that they are sturdy enough to withstand the heat of the grill.
Grill the skewers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the vegetables from burning and will give them a nice smoky flavor. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Conclusion:

Skewered Greek salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
