Oats Free Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Capers

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 all the way into that magic. The charring and steaming technique is the real secret here — it loosens the skins effortlessly and concentrates the natural sugars in the flesh until every strip is tender and almost jammy. A bright, simple dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey ties everything together without overwhelming those smoky roasted notes. Briny capers add little bursts of saltiness throughout, while fresh parsley and torn basil keep the whole dish feeling vibrant and alive. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from grains and oats, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out — just straightforward, wholesome produce and pantry staples. It works beautifully as a starter, a side alongside grilled proteins, or even piled onto crusty bread if that suits your table. This is the kind of dish that looks far more impressive than the effort it actually takes.
