Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-
Place the whole red bell peppers on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
-
Once the red peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin strips.
-
In a large bowl, combine the roasted red pepper strips, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, parsley, capers, and feta cheese.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
-
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl and gently toss everything together until well coated.
-
Let the flavors meld together by allowing the salad to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Salad on its own as a light meal, or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
