Author Notes

I think it's the colors. Peppers are like looking at a living, breathing color wheel. Deep and bright reds, purple, spring greens to light yellow-greens, bright oranges and yellows. Peppers are just a feast for the eyes! And for the mouth - from super mild to Call-911-I'm-Melting-From-The-Inside-Out! Crisp, crunchy peppers are delicious!

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Cracked Pepper

  • 1/4 pound Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Canned Black Olives

Directions
  1. Cut peppers into 1” chunks and onion and cucumber into 1/4” slices. Pinch off small 1” chunks of the mozzarella and add to peppers. Then put in olives and tomatoes.

This salad was easy and delicious!! We put in zucchini instead of cucumbers and skipped the black olives. Next time we are going to add corn, yellow squash, cauliflower and the inside of the broccoli stem.
