Sweet, smoky, and draped in a bright herb dressing, this roasted bell pepper salad is the kind of dish that looks far more impressive than the effort it takes to make. The magic happens in a hot oven where the peppers char and blister until their flesh turns silky and deeply sweet, then a quick steam loosens the skins so they slip right off. A simple whisked dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey pulls everything together with just the right balance of tang and sweetness. Briny capers add little pops of flavor throughout, while torn basil and flat-leaf parsley keep things fresh and vibrant. This is the kind of salad that works equally well as a starter, a side, or piled onto crusty bread — and it's entirely plant-based, so it fits naturally into a wide range of tables without any substitutions needed. Serve it warm straight from the bowl or let it sit at room temperature and watch the flavors deepen even further.

Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are deeply charred and blistered in spots and the flesh is completely tender when pressed.
