ROASTED PEPPER SALAD



Roasted Pepper Salad image

This recipe for roasted pepper salad is courtesy of David Tanis and can be found in his "A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes" cookbook.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large bell peppers, preferably a mix of yellow, orange, and red
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1 to 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
Olive oil
1/2 cup Nicoise olives, rinsed
Basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the peppers directly on the burner of a gas stove over high heat or on a grill. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn the peppers with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place the peppers on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Spread peppers on a baking sheet and let cool.
  • When peppers are cool enough to handle, halve peppers crosswise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; scrape away charred skin. Slice peppers into 1-inch-thick strips and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
  • Using the flat side of a large knife, crush garlic. Sprinkle garlic with salt and continue crushing with the flat side of the knife until a paste is formed. Add to bowl with peppers, along with capers and vinegar. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well combined. Let salad stand at room temperature until ready to serve.
  • To serve salad, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with more oil, if desired. Garnish with olives and basil.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For this salad, it's best to use a variety of bell peppers in different colors, such as red, yellow, and orange. These peppers are mild and have a slightly sweet flavor that will complement the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Slice the peppers thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Marinate the peppers: Marinating the peppers in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs before cooking will help to tenderize them and give them extra flavor.
  • Cook the peppers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning and becoming too soft.
  • Don't overcook the peppers: Peppers should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooked peppers will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: This salad can be served warm or at room temperature. If you serve it warm, the peppers will be more tender and flavorful. If you serve it at room temperature, the flavors will have a chance to meld together.

Conclusion:

This simple pepper salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this pepper salad a try!
