- Instructions
Step 1. Grate enough lemon zest to get 1/4 tsp of zest. Use the lemon and squeeze out about 2 Tbs. of lemon juice. Put zest in the lemon juice.
Step 2. To make the vinaigrette, whisk in the olive oil, scallion, thyme, chile, and salt and pepper to taste. Let vinaigrette sit for at least 20 minutes.
Step 3. Cut the peppers into thick strips and fold over in half. Spear into a toothpick, followed by an olive, cube of feta cheese or onion. Set the pick in a shallow serving dish. Repeat with all remaining ingredients. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 4. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the vinaigrette well and pour over the olive picks. Serve.
