I make a variation of this salad weekly, but this time I added roasted bell pepper and let me tell you, it takes it up a notch.
The slight smoky char adds a perfect depth against the freshness of the vegetables. Feel free to play around with whatever vegetables you have.

Roasted Bell Pepper Arugula Salad
Ingredients
- 2-3 bell peppers (any color)
- 4-6 cups arugula
- 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
- ¼ red onion, sliced
- ¼ cup pistachios, chopped
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice from ½ lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat broiler on high. Place bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast until charred, rotating every 8-10 minutes to cook on all sides. Transfer to a bowl and cover immediately to trap steam. Cool until comfortable to handle. Remove the skin from the peppers and cut into strips.
- In a large bowl, combine arugula, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and roasted bell peppers. Drizzle olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss lightly; top with pistachios. Serve.
