Sweet Red Pepper Salad image

The garlic, oregano and olive oil give this salad a taste that's as bold as its color. We've eaten it as a side dish or piled high on garlic toast as an appetizer or snack. -Cookie Curci, San Jose, California

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of red peppers, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is light and tangy, and the almonds add a nice crunch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. I usually roast a bunch of peppers at once and then use them in salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes all week.

I love how easy this salad is to make. It's also very versatile - I've added grilled chicken, feta cheese, and even quinoa to it before. Always delicious!
