Capsicum & Pine Nut Salad

Salads never have to be boring! Especially when they are full of fresh, tasty ingredients that are super easy to prepare. This capsicum and pine nut salad is absolutely delicious. Once the capsicums have cooled they soak up the olive oil and become this super sweet but garlicky mixture. I promise, everybody will be asking you to make this super simple recipe.

It is such a perfect side dish for your next barbecue or even a great addition to that boring leafy salad that you have been preparing every week. You can even enjoy it on its own.

Ingredients

• 4 4 Capsicums red & yellow work best, thinly sliced

• 4 cloves 4 Garlic minced

• 3 tbs 3 Olive Oil

• 1 pinch 1 Salt

• 1 pinch 1 Pepper

• 1/3 cup 1/3 Pine Nuts

Directions

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Prepare a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Place all of the ingredients, except the pine nuts, onto the baking tray. Toss until all of the capsicum is covered with oil (using your hands is an easy way to do this).
• Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until the capsicum starts to slowly brown and become soft. 5 minutes before removing from the oven, sprinkle pine nuts on to the tray.
• Once all ingredients are browned, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Serve once cold and enjoy.

Notes

• You can easily enjoy this salad slightly warm but it does taste better once it is completely cooled or even the next day.
