    1. Two 8-inch pocketless pita breads
    2. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
    3. 1 garlic clove, halved
    4. 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano, crumbled
    5. Salt and freshly ground pepper
    6. 2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    7. 1 large red onion, chopped
    8. 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    9. 1 cucumber—peeled, halved, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
    10. 12 large, cracked green olives
    11. 3 pickled green peppers (peperoncini), thinly sliced
    12. 2 pickled red cherry peppers—seeded and thinly sliced
    13. 2 tablespoons drained capers
    14. 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Brush the pita breads on both sides with olive oil and bake on the oven rack until golden, about 8 minutes. Rub the toasts on both sides with the garlic and let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the oregano; season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, cucumber, olives, pickled peppers and capers and toss. Scatter the feta on top, toss lightly and serve with the toasts.
