Mediterranean Roasted Tri-Color Bell Pepper Salad image

(Sorry, I meant broiled.) Another recipe that demands quality ingredients. Please *do not* use green bell peppers in this recipe-they are too bitter tasting for this salad. This can also be served as an appetizer. Being typically Spanish, this is on the oily side. --fyi-- From Classic Spanish.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large orange bell peppers, cut in half, seeded and membrane removed
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut in half, seeded and membrane removed
1 large red bell pepper, cut in half, seeded and membrane removed
1/3 cup olive oil (I reduced the amount by half)
1 yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves, finely minced
squeeze fresh lemon juice
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste
fresh Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • BROIL the bell pepper halves for about 10 minutes or until the skin is blistered and blackened.
  • Place the bell peppers in a clean paper bag, seal bag and allow peppers to "sweat" for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat up 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan and sautè the onion.
  • Fry for approximately 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Remove pan from heat and set aside. Important: *Reserve* olive oil in the pan.
  • Next, take the bell peppers out of the paper bag and if cool enough to handle, peel the skins.
  • Discard the skins and slice the peppers into thin strips.
  • Place the bell peppers, the cooked onions and any remaining olive oil from the pan into a shallow salad bowl.
  • Add the crushed garlic and pour on the remaining olive oil.
  • Add a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice and season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
  • Mix ingredients well, cover and marinate 2-3 hours. Stir the mixture once or twice.
  • Finally, garnish the pepper salad with fresh chopped Italian parsley.
  • Serve at room temperature and with crusty bread.
  • Servings are estimated as a salad.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasting process mellows out the flavor of the bell peppers and makes them much more palatable.

The dressing for this salad is so good! I used a combination of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted bell peppers. I had some leftover from making another dish and decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The salad was delicious and easy to make.

I'm always looking for new ways to use up fresh herbs, and this salad is a great way to do that. I used a combination of basil, oregano, and thyme, and it was perfect.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to my salad and it was delicious! It added a nice salty tang that complemented the sweetness of the roasted bell peppers.
