Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Brush both sides of the pita bread with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
Grill the pita bread for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and crisp. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Break the grilled pita bread into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.
