I don't care for raw red bell peppers and only made this dish because they were in the fridge and I didn't want them to go to waste. My friend loved it, but the surprise was that I ended up eating a good portion of it. This is a winner salad, no idea why such a simple preparation should completely transform its ingredients, but it definitely did.

I made this but used sherry vinegar instead of red wine. I used a mandolin for the veggies. This salad was a huge hit! Who knew something so simple could be so tasty?
