Marinated Feta & Olives with Grilled Flatbread
Ingredients:
1 block (8 oz) feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Lemon-Herb Salt
1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata, Castelvetrano, Manzanilla)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped
4 flatbreads
Instructions:
Marinate the feta: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and Lemon-Herb Salt. Add the feta cheese cubes and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Marinate the olives: Add the olives to the feta marinade and toss to coat. Let them marinate alongside the feta for at least 4 hours.
Assemble: When ready to serve, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill the flatbreads for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly toasted and warmed through.
Arrange the appetizer: Spoon some marinated feta, olives, and a drizzle of marinade onto each flatbread. Scatter with sliced garlic, red onion, and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
