Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 large yellow bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon capers
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Wash and dry the red and yellow bell peppers. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the peppers for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes with tongs, until the skin is blistered and charred on all sides.
Transfer the charred peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam, which makes peeling easier.
While the peppers steam, prepare the dressing. Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Once the peppers have steamed, remove the plastic wrap. Peel off and discard the charred skins, stems, and seeds. Slice the peppers into thin strips.
In a serving bowl, combine the sliced peppers with the dressing. Add the capers and toss gently to coat.
Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Serve as a side dish or with crusty bread.
