Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, capers, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
2
Add the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing.
3
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad ingredients.
4
Gently toss everything together until well combined.
5
Cut the toasted bagels or barley rusks into bite-sized pieces and place them in the bottom of your serving bowls or a platter.
6
Layer the salad mixture on top of the bread pieces. Allow the salad to sit for 30 minutes so the bread can soak up the juices from the dressing and tomatoes.
7
Serve and enjoy.
