The Veggie Kitchen: Cucumber and Sweet Pepper Salad

This is a refreshing g side dish on those hot days when you want to limit oven time. Super easy and quick but not a typical salad.

The ingredients:

Mini sweet peppers sliced

Seedless cucumber sliced and quartered

Olive oil

White wine vinegar

Salt 

Pepper

Silk chili

Parmesan cheese grated

The recipe:

Add peppers and cucumbers to a bowl

Make the dressing with the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and chili and shake well.

Drizzle veggies with the dressing and top with parmesan. 

Stir to mix well.

Notes:

I don't use sugar in my dressings so to make less tart I use more oil than vinegar. If you want it more tart use more vinegar instead.

This dressing shaker by oxo is great. It holds 1 C but for this recipe I used about 1/4 C. You just add everything, shake, and pour.

BTW, Valerie Bertinelli used this shaker on her show and she is the one that mention adding more vinegar or oil to adjust the tartness of the dressing.
