Mediterranean salad with peppers
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. It's a slightly modified version of a traditional Mediterranean pepper salad. The original version tends to be too salty for Russian tastes, so the amount of salt has been reduced from 1 tablespoon to 2 teaspoons. The preparation is very simple – you just need to marinate the onion and, while that's sitting, chop the remaining ingredients, then mix everything together. The salad is ready to serve.
