Roasted bell peppers have a way of transforming a handful of simple ingredients into something that feels genuinely special, and this salad is a perfect example of that magic. The peppers go into the oven at high heat until their skins are deeply charred and blistered, then they steam in a covered bowl until those skins slip right off — leaving behind silky, sweet, intensely flavored flesh that no raw pepper can compete with. A bright dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey ties everything together, while briny capers, fresh parsley, and torn basil add layers of flavor that make each bite feel a little more interesting than the last. This is exactly the kind of dish that looks impressive on a table but asks very little of you in the kitchen. Because every ingredient here is a whole, unprocessed food, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives — it's naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, including brazil nuts, without any substitutions required. Serve it at room temperature alongside grilled proteins, pile it onto crusty bread, or let it stand on its own as a vibrant starter.
