Name: Green Pepper Salad with Tomatoes and Olives
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 2 cups tomatoes ((heirloom varieties work especially well) cut in cubes); 1 cup green bell peppers (cut in cubes); 1 cup green olives ((with pimientos, such as Spanish Manzanilla)); ¼ cup fresh parsley (roughly chopped); 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil; 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar; salt and pepper (to taste)

Mediterranean-inspired green pepper salad mixes crisp green bell peppers with juicy tomatoes, briny green olives, and fresh parsley. This simple, versatile salad is ready in just 15 minutes.

Green peppers usually play backup in recipes like cold Spanish gazpacho soup and black bean chili. Here they step into the spotlight. When a friend shares extra from the garden or there's a sale at the market, this is the summery recipe I reach for.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Added some chopped green onions, eliminated the oil since we are WFPBNO, and it is simply one of the best salads of the Summer!

Thank YOU so much for this recipe!
