Roasted sweet peppers salad
Peppers are a vegetable rich in vitamin C and enjoy lots of appreciation in our cuisine. We like it in any form, raw or cooked, in salads or pickled, as a side dish. Sometimes I even eat roasted sweet peppers salad as a main dish, together with cottage cheese and a slice of whole wheat bread when I feel like I need a light meal.
In our family this roasted sweet pepper salad is highly popular at Summer time as it’s light and quite refreshing thanks to the vinegar addition to the sauce. But we also enjoy it at Autumn or Winter time next to a meat dish that sometimes can be a bit too heavy.
When roasted, the peppers should not get too soft or they’ll lose their nutritive qualities. Plus they won’t be as easy to eat if they’re soft. The roasted long sweet peppers salad tastes super special when paired with garlic, chopped or crushed, the latter being my favorite.
This salad is as delicious as simple and quick to prepare. I like to be able to make this tasty salad at Winter time too so I freeze the peeled roasted peppers; the texture and flavor stay in perfect shape. I just defrost them, make the garlic/vinegar sauce and my delicious salad is ready in no time.
