  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers, banana peppers, and jalapeños are all great options for this salad. If you like it spicy, choose hotter peppers like cayenne or habanero. For a milder flavor, stick with sweeter peppers like bell peppers or banana peppers.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven, on the grill, or even in a toaster oven. Just make sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
  • Marinate the peppers: Once the peppers are roasted, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs. This will help them absorb all the delicious flavors.
