Roasted Pepper Salad

A Moroccan salad that is often served during the Passover meal.
  • 6 large green bell peppers
  • 4 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Lettuce leaves

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet; bake until skins are blackened on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place peppers in paper bag; seal and set aside at least 15 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove the stems and seeds, and cut into 1-inch pieces.

2. Combine peppers with remaining ingredients; mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Arrange lettuce leaves on serving platter and top with the salad. Serve 1 or 2 lettuce leaves with each serving of salad.
