Red Meat Allergy Friendly 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 into that magic completely. The charring step is key — blistering the skins at high heat and then letting the peppers steam in a covered bowl makes peeling effortless and concentrates every bit of flavor in the flesh. Briny capers, a honey-touched apple cider vinegar dressing, and a generous handful of fresh parsley and basil pull the whole thing together in a way that feels far more impressive than the ingredient list suggests. Since this dish is built entirely around vegetables, olive oil, and herbs, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden animal proteins — it's naturally free of red meat and any of its derivatives. It works beautifully as a starter, a side alongside grilled fish or chicken, or even piled onto crusty bread as a light lunch. Serve it at room temperature and let the dressing soak into those tender pepper strips for maximum flavor payoff.
