Sweet, smoky, and draped in a bright herb dressing, this roasted bell pepper salad is the kind of dish that looks far more impressive than the effort it requires. The magic starts in a screaming-hot oven, where the peppers char and blister until their flesh turns silky and deeply sweet — a transformation that no raw pepper can match. A quick steam after roasting makes the skins slip right off, leaving behind glossy, jewel-toned strips that soak up every drop of the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey dressing. Briny capers add little bursts of saltiness throughout, while fresh parsley and torn basil keep things lively and aromatic. Every ingredient here is naturally free from pork and pork-derived products, so there's nothing to second-guess — just clean, wholesome produce and pantry staples doing all the work. It's equally at home as a starter, a side alongside grilled fish or roasted chicken, or piled onto crusty bread for a simple lunch. Serve it at room temperature and watch it disappear.

Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are deeply charred and blistered in spots and the flesh is completely tender when pressed.
