Mediterranean Diet Friendly Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Capers

Sweet, smoky, and draped in a bright herb dressing, this roasted pepper salad is the kind of dish that looks like it came from a sun-drenched Mediterranean table. The technique of charring the peppers at high heat and then steaming them is the real secret — it coaxes out a deep, jammy sweetness while making the skins effortless to peel away, leaving behind silky, jewel-toned strips. Briny capers, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey create a dressing that's tangy, slightly sweet, and completely addictive. Fresh parsley and torn basil keep everything tasting alive and vibrant. Extra-virgin olive oil ties it all together in the most classic way possible, which is exactly what makes this salad such a natural fit for a plant-forward, whole-ingredient approach to eating. It's equally at home as a starter, a side alongside grilled fish or crusty bread, or spooned over creamy white beans for a more substantial plate. Make it ahead and let it sit — the flavors only get better as everything mingles together.
