Alpha Gal Friendly Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Capers

Roasted bell peppers have a way of transforming into something almost silky and deeply sweet once the char comes off, and this salad leans into that magic completely. The briny pop of capers, a bright hit of apple cider vinegar, and fresh parsley and basil make every bite feel lively and layered. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, this dish is a natural fit — it's entirely plant-based in its ingredients, built around olive oil, fresh herbs, and produce with zero mammalian products to worry about. There's no hidden dairy, no meat-based broths, and nothing processed that might sneak in unexpected triggers. The steaming step after roasting is a small but brilliant technique that makes peeling the peppers almost effortless, leaving you with glossy, jewel-toned strips that look stunning on a plate. It works beautifully as a starter, a side, or even piled onto crusty bread, and it's just as good served slightly warm as it is at room temperature.
