Herbs play an important role in the Greek Cuisine, and fresh is always best! The four Greek herbs to plant in your garden are oregano, parsley, dill, and mint. I wanted a quick appetizer, so I reached out to these herbs in my garden and a cube of feta. These colorful balls can be prepared ahead of time, wrapped and refrigerated, and dipped in the herbs before serving. The balls can also be skewered for a festive presentation. Serve these with fresh berries, melon slices, or your favorite vinaigrette.
- 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- ¾ cup Kasseri cheese,finely grated
- ⅔ cup cream cheese,room temperature
- 2 garlic clove, crushed
- ½ cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh mint, finely chopped
- ¼ cup each of fresh parsley,mint, and dill for garnish
- Various berries, melons, or citrus.
- In a medium bowl, mix together Feta, Kasseri, cream cheese, until smooth. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley and mint.
- Roll the cheese into 1-inch round balls. Chill at least 1 hour.
- Divide in thirds and roll the balls in each herb and serve with berries, melons, or citrus.

You can skewer the cheese balls for an easy party appetizer.
These are on edible nasturtium leaves.
