Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and dry the red pepper, then cut it into thin strips.
- Place the strips on a baking sheet and drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over them.
- Roast the peppers in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and have a slight char.
- While the peppers are roasting, peel and slice the red onion thinly.
- Set aside.
- Once the roasted peppers are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted red peppers, sliced red onion, and 2 tbsp of olives.
- Crumble 1/3 cup of feta cheese over the top.
- Tear the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil and 2 tbsp of vinegar until well combined.
- Add 1 tbsp of capers to the dressing and mix.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately as a fresh, vibrant side dish, or chill in the fridge for later.
Tips:
- Roast the red pepper until it is charred on the outside for a deeper smoky flavor.
- Allow the roasted red pepper to cool in a covered bowl or plastic bag; this will make the skin easier to peel off.
- Use high-quality olive oil and vinegar to enhance the flavors of the salad.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chop the red onion finely to avoid overpowering the salad with its strong taste.
- Feel free to add additional herbs like parsley or mint for extra freshness.
