| Sweet Bell Pepper and Onion Salad |
With a freezer full of
main dishes, thanks to the marathon freezer cooking day I had with friends, I’m taking the time to get a little creative with our side dishes
rather than just roasting some vegetables or steaming some broccoli. To be
fair, Ryan made this bell pepper salad one evening to eat alongside some shredded Italian beef we
pulled from the freezer. We returned home from work one evening to a happy baby
who suddenly transformed into a lethargic, feverish baby with temperatures
reaching 103F.
We’d witnessed a few
minor fevers with Brecken before, but nothing that high and I was too busy
cuddling her and trying to keep her comfortable to even think about this salad
I’d planned to make. Thankfully super dad/husband stepped in and started
throwing this together. For as pretty as it looks arranged on the plate, you’d
never guess how simple it is. Slice some peppers, chop some herbs, toss in the
dressing, and after a little rest it’s ready for the table. Leftovers kept well,
so I’d guess you could make this up to a day ahead of time to make getting
dinner ready even easier!
