For a smoky flavor, try grilling the bell peppers over an open flame instead of roasting them in the oven. Feel free to add a pinch of cumin or paprika for an extra layer of warmth. This salad is best served at room temperature, allowing the flavors to fully develop. Consider adding a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice for a brighter, more acidic flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place the whole bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)
02
StepRoast until the pepper's skin is blistered and blackened, and the peppers are soft to the touch, approximately 30-45 minutes. Turn the peppers once halfway through to ensure even roasting. (40 minutes)
03
StepRemove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to steam the peppers, making the skins easier to peel. Let them cool for about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
04
StepOnce cooled, gently peel off the blackened skin. Remove the stems and seeds. Chop the roasted peppers into roughly half-inch pieces. (10 minutes)
05
StepHeat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
06
StepAdd the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir in the chopped roasted peppers and diced tomato. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and the flavors meld together beautifully, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
