Jump to Recipe - Print - Pin
Green Pepper Salad with Tomatoes is a delicious summer recipe. It's easy to make this vegan salad with only 6 ingredients in 15 minutes.
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.

FAQ
Is green bell pepper the same as red?
As members of the nightshade family, green bell peppers, also known as capsicum, are unripe. That's why they aren't as sweet as the other colors like red.
Do green bell peppers taste different?
Compared to red bell peppers, green are less sweet and have a slightly bitter flavor. This makes them pair especially well with sweet tomatoes.
Which bell pepper is healthiest?
While red contains the most nutrients since it's the ripest, according to Healthline's article Bell Peppers 101: Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits, a green bell pepper contains only 31 calories yet has 169% of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C. And they are high in vitamins and minerals including folate, potassium, and vitamins A, B6, E, and K1. In addition, bell peppers help prevent anemia and protect eye health.
