Picnic Salad Skewers

8 unpeeled small red potatoes
8 fresh pearl onions
1 tablespoon water
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
16 cherry tomatoes
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Viniagrette:
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, optional

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 13 minutes or until tender; drain. Place onions and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until crisp-tender and drain.

On metal or wooden skewers, alternately thread potatoes, onions,
peppers, tomatoes and zucchini. Place in a large shallow plastic container or large resealable plastic bag.

In a bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt
and pepper. Pour over vegetable skewers. Marinate for at least 1 hour, turning frequently. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.
