Grilled Bell Pepper Salad
• Letting peppers steam slightly after grilling makes peeling easier and texture softer if preferred. • This salad works well with added protein like chickpeas, tofu, or lentils. • You can swap arugula for spinach or romaine depending on preference. • Best served fresh but holds well for a few hours if dressing is added just before serving. Health Benefits: Bell peppers are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune health and reduce inflammation. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that improve nutrient absorption. Leafy greens contribute fiber, folate, and phytonutrients that support cardiovascular and digestive health. This salad is nutrient-dense and supports satiety while remaining light and refreshing.
