To prepare dressing: In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano and honey. Gradually whisk in oil. Taste. Add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Divide dressing among four pint jars. To assemble salads: Divide onion among four jars. Divide tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, olives and feta cheese among the jars. Pack remaining spaces with spinach, compressing leaves slightly. Secure lids and refrigerate for up to two days. To serve: Empty salads into bowls and toss with dressing. Serve with pita bread. Note: Store and transport salads upright so dressing stays on the bottom (pictured above, right).
