Deseed the red bell pepper, cut it into thin strips, and add to the salad.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, black pepper, and Dijon mustard to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated evenly.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and sprinkle over the salad just before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to allow flavors to meld and enjoy this crisp and tasty low-sodium Roman salad!
