I prepared this for a fall gathering yesterday and it is super easy to  make and delicious. I could not find Pearl olives in my local stores. But the other brand worked just fine. Every olive and cheese was consumed.

I love olives.  I love cheese so this is a winner to me!  I would happily sit down on Friday night with this, some crusty bread and be one happy lady! XO

Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!! I can't wait to try this!

This is my kind of snack because I freaking love olives and cheese so much!!  I've bought those Pearls olives before and they are great.  Making this to bring to my sister-in-law's for Easter :)

MARINATED OLIVES & CHEESE RING APPETIZER

These Marinated Olives and Feta are a delicious appetizer or a great addition to any salad or pasta! They're salty, savory, tangy, and a little spicy.

oregano

parsley

tsp crushed red pepper flakes

kalamata olives

feta cheese, washed, drained, (use block feta)

Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes to a medium bowl.

Whisk everything together until well-mixed and emulsified.

Crumble the feta into bite-sized chunks on top.

Mix everything together gently to coat with the marinade, careful not to break the feta apart too much.

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

These are delicious just as an appetizer on bread or with crackers but I most often use them in salads to add a little more flavor than plain feta would!
