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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash and dry the red and yellow bell peppers. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Broil the peppers for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes with tongs, until the skin is blistered and charred on all sides.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a serving bowl, combine the sliced peppers with the dressing. Add the capers and toss gently to coat.

Step 8

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.
