Equipment
- non-reactive mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper sliced 1/4" thick
- 1 medium red bell pepper sliced 1/4" thick
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper sliced 1/4" thick
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions green parts
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro packed
Instructions
- To your mixing bowl, add the lime juice, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the rest of the ingredients - bell peppers, red onion, scallions, and cilantro. Use tongs to toss the salad in the dressing. It might look like there isn't enough dressing at first, but it will be fine.
- You could serve this salad immediately, but I recommend refrigerating it for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Enjoy cold or at room temperature!
Notes
- Depending on the size of your bell peppers, this recipe makes approximately 4-6 side dish servings. It will go farther if used as a topping in wraps, tacos, or rice bowls.
- Feel free to use your favorite color bell peppers. If you don't like green, you can swap it with orange or double up on red or yellow.
- The salad is intentionally very lightly dressed so that it doesn't get soggy.
- Store the salad in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days.
