Mediterranean Pepper Salad
July 11, 2009
I used Deb’s recipe for this Smitten Kitchen Mediterranean Pepper Salad. I used onions from our farm share which I find pretty mild, so I skipped her brining step and made a light dressing out of red wine vinegar, olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, and salt & pepper.
I love chopped salads like this. I felt an odd, giddy sense of getting away with something by leaving out any green pepper, using only the sweet red, yellow, and orange peppers instead. I like Deb’s thinking.
We ate this salad for dinner with some challah, and it was a perfect summer meal. I liked it better when it was fresh and crisp the first night, rather than as leftovers, when it tasted more like a marinated salad.

I like that the photo is on the grass too…and it makes it hard to tell the size of the bowl:)
