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.

Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Side dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small red onion (about 100g), thinly sliced
400g sweetcorn (or 2-3 corn cobs, kernels stripped off)
drizzle of rapeseed oil (or another neutral oil), for frying
2 tsp butter
20g chives, finely sliced
80g parsley, chopped
200g feta, broken into chunks (ensure vegetarian, if needed)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Put the onion in a bowl, cover with water and leave for 5 mins. Drain, rinse and set aside on a sheet of kitchen paper to drain.
  • Fry the sweetcorn in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat for 4 mins, stirring regularly until it starts to colour. Add a drizzle of oil and the butter, stirring to coat. Cook for another few minutes, or until the kernels are browned all over and a few of the kernels are darker at the edges. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  • Once cool, mix the corn with the drained onions, chives, parsley and feta. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Taste for salt - be careful not to add too much as the feta is quite salty.

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 the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Heirloom tomatoes or Roma tomatoes work well.
  • Roast the peppers and onions: Roasting the peppers and onions brings out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the peppers and onions, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can roast evenly.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so make sure to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme can add a nice touch of flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

This red pepper, onion, and feta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and fresh ingredients, this salad is a great way to add some color and flavor to your next meal.
