Ingredients

• 2 whole Red bell pepper
• 2 whole Yellow bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the red and yellow bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are blistered and charred.

Step 4

Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid to allow the peppers to steam for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Peel off the charred skin from the peppers and discard the seeds and stems. Slice the peppers into thin strips and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

In a serving bowl, combine the roasted bell pepper strips with the dressing. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 8

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. If using capers, add them as well.

Step 9

Serve the salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired.
