8. Now add the the feta on top. Sprinkle the dried oregano on top..
9. Serve with crusty bread!.
10. I like to refrigerate mine to 1 or 2 hours before serving but you don’t have too..

You can use different colors bell peppers or sweet peppers… I think the more Olive oil you use the better and a slash of vinegar… I know I use way more olive oil than the recipe calls for.. I make everything to taste with this recipe… if you don’t like an ingredient use less of it or not at all. The best part about this salad is you can make a lot of it or just one severing….
