1
Broil (or grill) the tomatoes, bell pepper, and unpeeled garlic until uniformly charred. Immediately place vegetables in a clean paper bag and seal. Allow to "sweat" for about 15-20 minutes-which helps loosen the skin.
20 min
2
Once vegetables have been allowed to sweat, remove membrane, seeds and skin from bell peppers, and the skin from the tomatoes and garlic.
3
In a non-reactive salad bowl, dice the tomatoes and keep the juice. Dice the bell pepper and finely mince the garlic; add to salad bowl.
4
Add the fresh lemon juice, tossing with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
If you wish, add a drizzle of olive oil on top of the salad. Serve warm or at room temperature.
