This salad is a staple across North Africa and the Mediterranean, and once you taste it you’ll understand why. Grilled bell peppers with their skins charred and peeled get diced and tossed with ripe tomatoes, mild Spanish onion, and a bright garlic vinaigrette.

Grilling the peppers is what sets this apart from an ordinary chopped salad. It adds a smoky depth that raw peppers just can’t match, and the softened flesh absorbs the dressing beautifully.

Chilling it before serving lets the flavors marry together. Strain off the excess juices right before plating so the salad stays fresh and vibrant rather than watery.

Kitchen Tips

  • Char the peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until blackened all over, then steam them in a covered bowl to loosen the skins
  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best results; hothouse tomatoes won’t have enough flavor to carry this simple dish
  • A mild Spanish or sweet onion is key here; regular yellow onions will be too sharp for a raw salad
