Bell Pepper Capsicum Salad With Feta And Black Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Combine bell peppers, feta cheese, and onion in a large bowl.
• Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small lidded jar and shake vigorously to combine. Pour over salad and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Cut peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove stems, seeds and veins, then slice peppers into strips about ⅛-inch wide.
• Make a vinaigrette: Using a mortar and pestle, smash anchovy fillet and garlic into a paste. Transfer to a small bowl, and add red wine vinegar and chopped capers. Stir in olive oil and season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
• Put sliced peppers in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. Add vinaigrette and toss again. Leave for 10 minutes, then taste again and adjust seasoning. (The salad can sit for 15 to 20 minutes without suffering.)
• Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, whole capers, olives and anchovy fillets. Surround with arugula, if using. Sprinkle with oregano, if using.

Steps:

• Cook orzo in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped bell peppers, Kalamata olives, green onions and capers.
• Combine lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard and cumin in small bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add dressing to orzo mixture and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Garnish salad with pine nuts; serve.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, all bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Crumble feta cheese on top.
• Stir together oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and black pepper in a cup. Pour over salad and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash peppers and lay them in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the peppers and bake for about 35 minutes, until wilted and beginning to turn brown. Remove peppers from oven and cover with foil or a towel. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove as much peel as you can from the peppers; discard. Some peel may be stubborn and remain - that's ok. Remove the centers and seeds also.
• Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces and add to a large bowl. Add parsley, feta, lemon zest, and the oil that the peppers cooked in. Toss and serve.
• Keeps refrigerated for about two days. I think the salad tastes best served closer to room temperature.
