No-Cook Month: Greek Antipasto Pita Recipe

Sweet readers! Today's post is a bit abbreviated for the vacation, but I didn’t want to skip this recipe. It’s a really good one, with absolutely no cooking involved, and it only gets better after a day or two in the fridge. Add a little feta cheese on top for pure Greek pita enjoyment.

Happy 4th! (Er ... or 5th.)
