Recipes With Diced Green Peppers

Green bell peppers tend to be reserved for recipes like Cold Spanish Soup, Black Bean Chili, and Rasta Pasta, where they play a supporting role.

But this versatile vegetable deserves to take center stage from time to time, like in this Mediterranean-inspired Green Pepper Salad. The rest of the cast includes ripe tomatoes, briny green olives, and herbaceous fresh parsley.
