Chef tips

To peel the peppers easily, place them in a sealed bag right after roasting. Once they cool slightly, kids can help with the peeling—the skin slides right off thanks to the steam. Add cumin or roasted chili for a spicy kick. This salad is great with fish or in a fresh challah sandwich, and it tastes even better after a day in the fridge.
