½ orange bell pepper, julienned
½ red bell pepper, julienned

¼ cup raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use a variety of bell peppers, such as red, orange, and yellow. You can also use a spicier pepper, such as a jalapeño or serrano pepper, if you like.
  • Cut the peppers evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the peppers are not cut evenly, the thicker pieces will take longer to cook and the thinner pieces will overcook.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the peppers, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than sauté.
  • Cook the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked peppers will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add the dressing while the peppers are still warm: This will help the dressing to soak into the peppers and give them more flavor.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy three-pepper salad is a great way to use up fresh peppers. It's a healthy and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The salad can also be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
