Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the Feta, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Olives

    Rinse the Kalamata and Green olives under cold water to remove excess brine, then add them to the bowl with the cheese.

Marinade

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, chopped Fresh Oregano, minced Garlic Cloves, Red Pepper Flakes, Lemon Zest, Salt, and Black Pepper until well combined.

    Combine

    Pour the marinade over the cheese and olives mixture, ensuring everything is well coated. Gently toss to combine.

Marination

    Let It Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving
