Green Pepper Tomato Salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish that celebrates the simple, fresh flavors of summer produce. Crisp green peppers, juicy tomatoes, and thinly sliced onions come together in a light, zesty vinaigrette to create a salad that’s both satisfying and healthy. The sweetness of the tomatoes contrasts beautifully with the slight bitterness of the green peppers, while the tangy dressing ties everything together. This salad is perfect as a side dish for grilled meats or seafood, or as a light, refreshing lunch on its own.
