Vegetable salad with stewed peppers
4 servings
30 minutes
Vegetable salad with stewed peppers is a bright and aromatic dish that combines the freshness of vegetables with the rich flavor of roasted peppers and eggplants. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean cuisine, where the richness of flavors, simplicity of preparation, and naturalness of ingredients are traditionally valued. Soft, slightly caramelized peppers and eggplants paired with juicy cherry tomatoes and crunchy cucumbers create a harmony of textures and shades. Herbs, garlic, and balsamic vinegar add zest and depth of flavor, making the salad an ideal complement to meat and fish dishes. It is suitable for a light dinner or festive table, and its rich aroma and natural sweetness of vegetables enchant from the first bite.
