- Roast the peppers evenly by turning them occasionally until the skins are blackened. This ensures they cook through and develop a sweet, smoky flavor.
- To easily peel the peppers after roasting, place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. The steam will help loosen the skins.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
- Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar to enhance the overall taste of the salad. A balsamic vinegar can add a slight sweetness if preferred.
- Combine the ingredients just before serving to keep the basil leaves fresh and vibrant.
This roasted capsicum salad is a delightful and nutritious dish that highlights the natural sweetness of red peppers paired with the freshness of basil and the crunch of pine nuts. It's simple to prepare and versatile enough to accompany various main courses. Enjoy this dish as part of a healthy meal, and don't hesitate to get creative with additional ingredients like feta cheese or cherry tomatoes for even more flavor.
