Bell Pepper Salad

Ingredients

• 1 pound mini sweet peppers ((any color or a mix), stemmed and thinly sliced into rings)
• 6 Campari tomatoes, (stemmed and quartered)
• 2 scallions, (trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts))
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill fronds
• 1 small garlic clove, (minced)
• 6 to 8 olives, ((green or Kalamata), pitted and roughly chopped)
• 1 teaspoon sumac ((optional))
• Kosher salt
• Ground black pepper
• 1 large lemon, (zested and juiced)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the salad. In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, tomatoes, scallions, dill, garlic, and olives. Sprinkle with the sumac and a large pinch of salt and pepper (about ½ teaspoon each).

2. 2

   Dress the salad. Add the lemon zest and juice along with the olive oil and give it a good toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

3. 3

   Rest and serve. If you have time, set aside for 20 minutes or so before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
