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.
