Galilee Green Roasted Red Pepper Salad

Here is a salad that is both colorful and delicious.

It falls into many different diet lifestyles: Paleo, Low-calorie, Vegan and the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. No matter which diet you’ve chosen to follow, Red Peppers are just amazing.

A cup of chopped red bell pepper has nearly three times more vitamin C than an orange. Red peppers are also a great source of vitamin A, which promotes eye health.

This salad is relatively easy to make and will definitely impress with its unique flavor. For fun you can try making this salad with Green, Yellow or Orange peppers.

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 4

• 2 Red Bell Peppers
• 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of Galilee Green Olive Oil
• Salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

1. Blacken the entire red pepper on all sides by roasting on an open flame of an element on a gas range. You can also blacken the pepper by broiling it in the oven.
2. Place the blackened peppers in a paper bag or in a sealed bowl. Leave them in the bowl or bag for about an hour until the steam softens the pepper and makes it really easy to clean off the blackened skin.
3. Clean off the black skin of the pepper and slice lengthwise.
4. Add chopped garlic, lemon juice, Galilee Green Olive Oil and salt. Toss.

ENJOY!!
