Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Adds rich sweetness and crispness; substitute with any sweet bell pepper.
  • 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper Provides a mellow flavor and sunny appearance; can be swapped for orange bell pepper for similar sweetness.
  • 1 medium Green Bell Pepper Offers a slightly bitter and earthy taste; use any color bell pepper if green is unavailable.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Contributes a pop of green and herbal note; replace with fresh dill for a different flavor.
For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances the natural flavors and adds a silky texture; avocado oil can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens the salad with zesty freshness; lime juice can also work for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Brings out the natural flavors of the peppers; a substitute like coconut aminos can reduce sodium.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds mild heat; adjust according to preference or omit for less spice.
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar Provides a tangy-sweet kick; red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used for variation.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder Infuses a gentle, savory depth; fresh minced garlic can be used if preferred.

Preparation Steps
  1. Wash and slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers under cool running water. Cut off the tops and bottoms, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin, uniform strips. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
  2. Combine all sliced bell peppers in the mixing bowl and gently toss them together until well mixed.
  3. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the peppers. Sprinkle salt and black pepper, then toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Chop fresh parsley and add it along with balsamic vinegar and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  5. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with extra lemon juice or salt as desired.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Give the salad a gentle toss before serving, and serve in a bowl showcasing the colorful peppers.
