Pecan 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 right into that magic. The charring and steaming technique is the real secret here — it loosens the skins effortlessly and concentrates all that natural pepper flavor into tender, juicy strips. A bright dressing of apple cider vinegar, honey, and good olive oil ties everything together without overpowering the peppers themselves. Capers bring a briny little punch that plays beautifully against the sweetness, while fresh parsley and torn basil keep things vibrant and herbaceous. Every single ingredient in this dish is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-reading stress or substitution gymnastics required — just straightforward, beautiful produce. It works equally well as a starter, a side alongside grilled proteins, or piled onto crusty bread for a simple lunch. This is the kind of recipe that looks far more impressive than the effort it actually takes.
