Roasted red pepper salad
This salad is so simple but still bold on flavor. Plus- red peppers are packed with vitamin C, which supports your immune system, helps your skin glow, and keeps inflammation down.
It’s great in a sandwich, over labneh, with roasted meats- or simply by itself!
INGREDIENTS:
4 red bell peppers or a 16 oz jar of roasted red peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half moons(plus more lemons for juice)
2 small jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
1/4 a cup olive oil
Juice of a 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
