GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

BELL PEPPER, TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD



Bell Pepper, Tomato, and Feta Salad image

I make this salad all the time in various configurations, using more or less bell pepper, tomato, or feta cheese, depending on what I have in my fridge. Mixed color bell peppers look prettiest. The dressing couldn't be easier and can be used on different salads as well.
