Chicken Free Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Capers

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 requires. The magic starts in a screaming-hot oven, where the peppers char and blister until their flesh turns silky and deeply sweet — a transformation that no raw pepper can match. A quick steam after roasting makes the skins slip right off, leaving you with jewel-toned strips that soak up every drop of the apple cider vinegar and honey dressing. Briny capers add little punches of salt throughout, while torn basil and flat-leaf parsley keep things fresh and fragrant. This is naturally a plant-forward, protein-free dish built entirely on vegetables, olive oil, and pantry staples — no substitutions or workarounds needed. It works beautifully as a starter, a side alongside grilled fish or pasta, or piled onto crusty bread as an antipasto. Make a big batch because it only gets better as it sits and the flavors meld together.
