It has been gorgeous outside!

And I’ve been enjoying every second of it.

This means more effortless recipes are about to come.

This is a Bulgarian salad, and it is usually served without the lettuce there.

Restaurants here in the US, serve it with chopped lettuce, which I don’t mind.

I did not plan on posting this recipe, because it is so simple, I can’t even call it a recipe.

But when I went to a Bulgarian place with some friends, one of my girlfriends suggested that I should share the recipe on my blog.

The truth is – I did take pictures of it a few weeks back, but I knew I was not posting it.

Then I thought, why not!

I’ll just quickly share it and hope some of you like it!

What brings the most flavor to this salad are the fire (gas) grilled sweet long red peppers.

I love making them in the summer.

Of course you can use roasted red peppers from a jar, if you aren’t up to grilling/roasting peppers.

Everything else are – well  known ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers (not all versions have cucumbers), onions and white beans from a can.

The dressing is light – olive oil and apple cider vinegar.

Enjoy your day guys! Enough said, just another simple summer salad recipe.
