Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Sweet, thin-fleshed peppers, such as Gypsy, Lipstick, and other mild peppers, are delicious sliced thin and dressed as a raw salad. Choose a mixture of yellow, orange, and red peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the stems, membranes, and seeds. Cut the peppers lengthwise into very thin slices. Peel a red onion, cut in half lengthwise, and slice very thin (there should be about half as many onions as peppers). Combine the peppers and onion, and dress with salt, a splash of red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Peel and finely chop a garlic clove, or pound it to a paste in a mortar, and add it to the peppers and onion. Let the salad marinate a bit to soften, add some chopped herbs, if you like, and serve.
