HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
I’m usually pretty patient and calm, but my internet service has really gotten to me these past few weeks. We had the company send someone out to look at the connection and hopefully we’re back on track. I’ve missed having my internet…
This weekend was Memorial Day weekend, the kick off to summer. Our weekend was filled with several barbecues and I wanted to share a few recipes that I made. Today is my pepper salad recipe, just as appeasing to the palette as they eyes. Hubster and my MIL were really hesitant about this salad, but I insisted that’s what I was taking. Turns out everyone found a different way to enjoy it. I ate mine as a side dish, one person mixed it in with his pasta salad, another put it on top of a burger, one on top of a hot dog. It enhanced anything to added it to…
Pepper Salad
Ingredients:
1 green pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 orange bell pepper, 2 jalapeño peppers, 1 shallot, 1/4 c. vegetable oil, 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 2 limes, fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper
Directions:
Cut peppers and mince shallot, set aside in bowl. Whisk together oil, mustard, lime juice, lime zest, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over peppers and toss gently. Place in refrigerator and allow to set for several hours before serving.
*Bonus if you can get ahold of a purple bell pepper or white bell pepper.

This looks great to me! So colorful and I love peppers. I’d eat it alone, although on a burger sounds good. We had computer issues today too, my wife went to FB share a WSJ article and in the text it said “write something.” She was quite horrified because she couldn’t remove the post and I had to do the whole diagnostic thing. Her friends were amused at least.
Thanks Rufus! Glad you got some form of entertainment out of the ordeal.
This looks fantastic!!!
Thanks Elle!
That’s beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Looks beautiful. I think I would be the person who mixes it with pasta or on top of a burger. The hot dog idea is a good one too 🙂 I think I may serve this instead of sauteed onions and mushrooms, next time I BBQ.
Awesome! Let me know how you like it!
I forgot to tell you how beautiful this one looks!
Thanks Casey!
Im going to try this with habanero peppers.
Sounds good and spicy, let me know how it turns out!
