This salad is perfect served alongside grilled lamb or beef skewers off the barbecue. If the barbecue is on anyway, we like to use it to grill the capsicum instead of in the oven to add that smoky flavour to an already delicious salad.

  • 3 capsicum

    different colours, halved lengthwise
  • 6 vine tomatoes

  • 1 shallot

    finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic

    minced

Dressing

Preheat the oven on broil (or 225°C on grill). Place the capsicum onto an oven tray, cut side down.

Once the capsicum is cool, remove the skin and any seeds and dice.

4

Cut the tomatoes into quarters or smaller pieces.

5

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, pepper and paprika.

In a serving bowl or plate, mix the capsicum, tomatoes, basil and sliced shallots.
