Hello there!

It’s been almost a year since I started my little project: “Our Family's Meal Makeover.”

These days, I’ve been experimenting with ways to prep both main and side dishes in the morning, trying to make dinnertime a bit more relaxed.

So recently, I’ve started sharing some of the “side dishes that got a thumbs up at home” — kind of like a recipe journal, or a collection of our favorites.

Today’s post is all about the 8th recipe in that series:
Italian-Marinated Bell Peppers.

This is mainly for my own notes, but I hope it might be helpful to someone out there too ♡

＼　Inspired by this recipe　／

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 bell pepper

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp vinegar

• 1/2 tsp sugar

• A pinch of salt

I used a little less sugar than the original recipe — just a small tweak to suit our taste.

🥣 How to Make It

１．Cut the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Put them in a microwave-safe container, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave at 600W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

２．In a separate container, mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and sugar.

３．Add the microwaved bell peppers to the marinade, toss well, and chill in the fridge. And that’s it — ready to enjoy!
