Multi-Colored Pepper Salad w/ Vinaigrette

This is a fabulously easy, quick summer salad. You can get whichever peppers they currently have in your produce market. Sometimes you can even get snow white ones!

The peppers can be julienned or sliced into fun rings.

Multi-Colored Pepper Salad w/ Vinaigrette

Serving Size : 6

2 red bell peppers -- julienned
1 yellow bell peppers -- julienned
1 orange bell peppers -- julienned
1 purple bell peppers -- julienned
3/4 red onion -- sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons parsley, fresh -- chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
salt and pepper to taste

Slice the peppers and put into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with garlic and parsley. Add vinegars and oil, salt & pepper and toss well. DO NOT LET SIT before serving or all of the peppers will turn green! Toss and serve immediately.

I have a funny story to go with this recipe...

Several years ago, Clay and I were hired to cater a graduation party and we told the client that we would be making this salad. She said it sounded GREAT except that she didn't like green peppers so only to use the other colors. Well, imagine our dismay when we dressed the salad, put it on the buffet table and came back a half hour later and they were all green! And this was after we had spent a fortune having white and purple peppers specially ordered just for the party.

(Sound familiar Rose?)
