Tips:

  • Chopping the vegetables into small, uniform pieces will help them to blend well in the salad and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of colors of bell peppers to add visual appeal to the salad. Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are all good choices.
  • If you like a spicy salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few chopped jalapeño peppers to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
