Sweet Bell Pepper Onion Salad Recipes

SWEET BELL PEPPER & ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Give the peppers a good rinse, and then, while still whole, slice them into thin rings. About 1/8 inch is best. Then carefully slice out any ribs and seeds. Slice the jalapeno into thin rings, but don't remove the inner seeds and ribs if you want to retain the heat.
• Peel and slice the onion as thinly as possible. (I used a mandoline slicer)
• Toss the peppers and onions with a little olive oil and vinegar. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes.
• Just before serving, toss with the fresh herbs. Salt and pepper to taste.
