Moroccan Pepper Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow and green)
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the bell peppers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
2. Remove the peppers from the grill and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins.
3. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
4. In a large salad bowl, combine the bell peppers, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped parsley and chopped mint.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
6. Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
