Sweet Bell Pepper and Onion Salad

By joanmarie

The peppers will go from softened to mushy if they sit too long; you want to serve them with some bite left.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds orange or yellow bell peppers (about 4) or sweet orange peppers (about
• 6 ), thinly sliced into rings
• 1 small torpedo or red onion, thinly sliced into rings
• 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
