The BFD Food Column: Roast Pepper Salad

The BFD Food Column: Roast Pepper Salad

I don’t know what the price of peppers (capsicum) is like in NZ, but up here in Jerusalem they are pretty cheap and a sweet, colourful and tasty side-salad option. This is a great addition to a light meal of pita and cheese, with an omelette or as part
