Recipe Introduction
At this time of year, farmer's markets boast a plentiful and inexpensive supply of bell peppers. The red and yellow ones can be quite costly in most supermarkets during the winter, so now is a good time to take the time to roast a generous quantity to freeze for use later. Here’s one of my favorite salads for enjoying them. You'll find how-to instructions for roasting peppers at the end of the recipe.

Roasted Bell Pepper Salad
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
¾ teaspoon sugar
Dash of salt and freshly ground pepper, or to taste

Combine the oil, vinegar, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
