- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 3-4 fresh oregano stems or sub 1/2 tsp dry oregano

Directions
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave off 2-3 pieces of a lemon peel, then slice the peel into thin strips.
- Add the lemon strips to a small mixing bowl with the herbs, olive oil and red pepper flakes.
- Cut the feta into 1" cubes, then add it to the oil mixture with the olives. Toss together to coat evenly.
