How to Make Green And Red Pepper Salad
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place red pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet with a lip or in a baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip peppers and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Repeat the flipping and baking process two more times (5-minute intervals). Total baking time is 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cover tightly with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes to steam.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and discard.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the green peppers.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add chopped green peppers, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add halved tomatoes, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Cook for another 6 minutes, or until the mixture begins to release some moisture.
- **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
- To assemble: Arrange red pepper halves on a serving platter, overlapping slightly like flower petals or spokes on a wheel.
- Drizzle generously with the dressing.
- Spoon the green pepper and tomato mixture into the center of the platter, allowing some to cascade over the red peppers.
- Alternatively, arrange on individual plates with two red pepper quarters in a V-shape and the green pepper mixture in the center.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
