Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole red bell peppers
- 2 whole yellow bell peppers
- 1 whole green bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 50 grams pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Wash the red, yellow, and green bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
Once roasted, transfer the peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow them to steam for 10 minutes to make the skins easier to remove.
While the peppers are steaming, thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh parsley and mint. Set these aside.
Peel the skins off the roasted peppers, then remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Slice the peppers into thin strips.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted pepper strips, sliced red onion, feta cheese crumbles, and Kalamata olives.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and mint over the top for a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavors.
