ROASTED PEPPER & FETA SALAD



Roasted Pepper & Feta Salad image

This colorful salad combines smoky roasted peppers with salty feta, bright lemon zest, and pepper-infused olive oil. Eat by itself or stuffed in a grilled pita for a perfect light lunch.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bell peppers - red (yellow, and/or orange)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 small red onion (diced (about 1/2 cup))
Handful fresh parsley (chopped (about 1/4 cup chopped))
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese (about 3/4 cup)
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Wash peppers and lay them in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the peppers and bake for about 35 minutes, until wilted and beginning to turn brown. Remove peppers from oven and cover with foil or a towel. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove as much peel as you can from the peppers; discard. Some peel may be stubborn and remain - that's ok. Remove the centers and seeds also.
  • Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces and add to a large bowl. Add parsley, feta, lemon zest, and the oil that the peppers cooked in. Toss and serve.
  • Keeps refrigerated for about two days. I think the salad tastes best served closer to room temperature.

ORZO SALAD WITH PEPPERS AND FETA



Orzo Salad With Peppers and Feta image

Piperade, a classic Basque dish of stewed peppers, onions and tomatoes, becomes a flavorful sauce for this pasta. Colorful bell peppers simmer in olive oil and aromatics until meltingly soft, and juicy tomatoes simmer alongside until they burst, lending both tangy and sweet notes. Briny feta adds salty bites to complement the sweet pepper sauce, but tart aged goat cheese makes a good alternative. This side is even better at room temperature, making it the perfect make-ahead dish for summer picnics or potlucks.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, pastas, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 10 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound orzo
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 large or 4 medium red, yellow or orange bell peppers (about 1 1/4 pounds), cored, seeded and chopped into ½-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 medium tomato, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
4 ounces feta cheese, thinly sliced or crumbled

Steps:

  • Cook orzo in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, pressing out excess liquid. Spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion, bell peppers and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato and cook, stirring occasionally, until broken down and juices release, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the reserved pasta water and stir to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Transfer vegetable mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly to lukewarm, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to speed up the cooling process. Discard thyme sprig.
  • Add cooled orzo, lemon juice, basil and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well, then transfer to a large serving bowl or platter. Garnish with more basil.

RED PEPPER AND FETA SALAD



Red Pepper and Feta Salad image

This is my adaptation of a recipe from the "Chopstix" cookbook. It's simple, elegant, and delicious! They can also be made in advance, which is terrific when you have company over. Time is an estimate and includes sitting time for peppers.

Provided by Halcyon Eve

Categories     Cheese

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 large red bell pepper, quartered and seeded
16 large basil leaves
2 ounces light feta (not crumbled)
1 lime, quartered
fresh ground black pepper
basil leaves (to garnish, I like to use the little sprigs at the top of the plant)

Steps:

  • To make dressing: place garlic, ginger, and oils into a small pan over medium heat. Cook just until the garlic turns white; do not allow garlic to brown. If garlic browns, toss out and start over. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. The dressing may be made several hours in advance.
  • Roast the pepper quarters under a broiler until skin blackens and blisters. Wrap in damp paper towels and place in a small paper bag, folding top down to close. Allow to sit until cooled enough to handle, 15-20 minutes.
  • Peel, trim, and cut each quarter into halves.
  • Slice the feta into 8 slices.
  • On each of 4 salad plates, place one strip of pepper. Add a slice of feta, then top with 2 basil leaves. Repeat layers, fanning or arranging the layers so that each layer is visible.
  • Cover loosely with damp paper towels and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, bring salads to room temperature. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and grind pepper over the top to taste. Garnish with a sprig of basil leaves and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the salad.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful bell peppers. Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep, vibrant color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the bell peppers before slicing them. Roasting the peppers intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to digest. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred and blistered. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before slicing them.
  • Use a variety of colors of bell peppers. This will add visual interest to your salad and make it more nutritious. Red bell peppers are a good source of vitamin C, orange bell peppers are a good source of vitamin A, and yellow bell peppers are a good source of vitamin B6.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad. When you're assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will make it difficult to mix the salad and will prevent the flavors from blending together.
  • Dress the salad lightly. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much dressing, the salad will be soggy and oily. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This red bell pepper and feta salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted bell peppers give the salad a smoky flavor, while the feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor. The salad is also packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a great choice for a healthy meal.
