Prepare the Salad: Start by placing the feta cheese, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion, and black olives in a mixing bowl. Give them a gentle toss to combine.

Season the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the salad mixture and sprinkle with dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well and set aside.
-
Toast the Pita: Preheat your toaster or broiler. Place the pita breads in the toaster or under the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until they puff up and become slightly golden brown.
-
Prepare the Dressing: While the pitas are toasting, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with the dried mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the dressing aside.
-
Slice and Fill the Pitas: Using a kitchen towel to handle the hot pitas, carefully slice each one from top to bottom down one of the longer sides. Open up each pita to form a pocket.
-
Fill the Pitas: Divide the prepared salad evenly among the pita bread pockets. Drizzle each pocket with a spoonful of the prepared yogurt dressing.
-
Serve: Your Greek Salad Pitas are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them immediately, and if desired, offer the remaining yogurt dressing on the side for extra flavor.
