Рецепт Refreshing Tomato, Cucumber, and Bell Pepper Salad
Tomato, Cucumber, and Bell Pepper Salad
Whenever I go home to visit, my mom sends back back with a bag full
of fresh picked produce. There is something about a salad made of
fresh-picked produce that just makes it tastier than your average salad.
I wanted to enjoy to celebrate each of the vegetables and fruit and I
think this dish allows each ingredient to both shine as well as
compliment each other. Not to mention, it is incredibly easy to make!
This recipe can either make 4 portions as a side dish or 2 portions if you really like salad!
Tomato, Cucumber, and Bell Pepper Salad - Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber (peeled, deseeded and diced)
- 3 small tomatoes - larger than a golf ball but smaller than a baseball (deseeded and diced/sliced)
- 1 large scallion (diced)
- 1 baby red bell pepper (diced)
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- .5 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- chili oil
- pink sea salt (or your favorite salt)
- pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, toss cucumber, tomatoes, scallion and bell pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder. Add chili oil to taste (I used 5 dashes so there is a small but noticeable kick) as well as salt and pepper to taste.
Toss dressing with vegetables, cover, and refrigerate. You can serve right away however I like to let the dish sit for about 30 minutes to let all the flavors come together.
