The other day, I was supposed to make just a regular salad. Not necessarily boring (it was going to be full of spinach and peppers and tomatoes), but just a regular salad. Upon finding that most of our spinach was kaput, we had to get creative. With my husband calling out suggestions from the living room, we came up with a pepper and feta salad that did not disappoint. Also, peppers from Costco are awesome. Buy them. They’re cheaper (6 per pack) and fresher than getting them fresh from a grocery store. Seriously.
Ingredients:
- Red, orange, and yellow peppers (we had already eaten the green ones), chopped into small bits
- Grape tomatoes, chopped into small bits
- Feta cheese, crumbled
- Handful of craisins
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Cracked pepper
- Crushed red pepper (optional)
*You’ll notice there are no quantities for any of these ingredients. That is the way it should be. This is a true tossed salad. I tossed everything together. It’ll work out, I promise!
Directions:
- Combine the peppers, tomatoes, craisins, and feta cheese in the desired size bowl for your foodening.
- Add some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and stir until coated. Start with small amounts and add more to taste.
- Add cracked pepper to taste (I like lots, so I used a lot).
- Actually the crushed red pepper was an accident, but a happy one. I just added one or two shakes of this and it added a very nice amount of heat. A couple more couldn’t hurt!
- Stir until combined
