GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Categories side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch dice
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 a palm full

Steps:

Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips:

Select ripe and flavorful bell peppers and tomatoes: The quality of your salad depends on the quality of your ingredients. Choose bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored, and tomatoes that are ripe and juicy.
Cut the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and have a consistent texture.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing, resulting in soggy, bland vegetables.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The longer it sits, the more the vegetables will wilt and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Green pepper and tomato salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
