Lactose Free Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Capers

Roasted bell peppers have a way of transforming into something almost silky and sweet once the oven works its magic on them, and this salad is a perfect showcase for that. The charring and steaming technique is the real secret here — it loosens the skins effortlessly and coaxes out a deep, caramelized flavor that raw peppers simply can't match. A bright dressing of apple cider vinegar, honey, and good olive oil ties everything together, while capers add little bursts of briny punch that keep each bite interesting. Fresh parsley and torn basil lift the whole dish with a herby freshness that feels genuinely vibrant. Since every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, there's no substituting or label-checking required — it just works, exactly as written. Serve it warm straight from the bowl or let it sit at room temperature, where the flavors only deepen as it rests. It's the kind of simple, stunning side that looks like you put in far more effort than you actually did.
