Roasted bell peppers have a way of transforming into something almost silky and deeply sweet once they come out of a hot oven, and this salad leans fully into that magic. The char-and-steam technique is the real hero here — blistering the skins at high heat and then letting the peppers rest covered means the skins slip right off, leaving behind tender, jewel-colored strips packed with natural flavor. A simple dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey ties everything together without relying on any packaged shortcuts or flavor enhancers. Briny capers add little bursts of saltiness, while fresh parsley and torn basil keep the whole dish feeling bright and garden-fresh. Every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed, so you never have to second-guess what's actually in your bowl. It's the kind of salad that works beautifully as a starter, a side, or even piled onto crusty bread — and it tastes even better once it's had a few minutes to sit and let the flavors meld.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the bell pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are deeply charred and blistered in spots and the flesh is completely tender when pressed.
