Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 medium red onions, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 red and 3 yellow bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:
