Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cheeses: Begin by cutting the mozzarella and feta cheese into uniform cubes, making sure each piece is about an inch in size for even marinating.
- Combine Ingredients: In the same mixing bowl, add the strips of salami and the halved green olives to the cubed cheeses. Gently toss everything together to ensure well mixed.
- Make the Marinade: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Coat the Mixture: Pour the marinade over the cheese, salami, and olive mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to a glass jar, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Prepare to Serve: After marinating, let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
- Garnish the Platter: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the marinated cheese, salami, and olives.
- Serve with Accompaniments: Present with toothpicks on the side and pair with crackers or slices of bread.

Notes
Allow the appetizer to marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for desired spiciness.
