Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oven to 350F. Place the pita halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Brush w/1 tbsp of the oil & bake until golden & crisp (4-6 min). Allow to cool & then break into pieces.
Step 2
Whisk together the vinegar, oregano & the remaining 3 tbsps of oil in a lrg bowl. Add salt & pepper to taste preferences.
Step 3
Add the lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, onion, chickpeas, Feta, pita chips, pepperoncini (if using) & olives (if using). Toss to combine & is best when served immediately.
NOTE: I did modify a couple of the ingredients to better suit our taste preferences. Additionally, I believe a sprinkle (or 2) of garlic powder/salt on the pita crisps is nearly manditory IMHO. Your choice to make.
