Sweet Pepper-Cucumber-Red Onion Summer Salad

I had a variety of small sweet peppers in the refrigerator, plus a cucumber and red onion that needed to be used ~ this recipe did them all justice!




We like refreshing salads such as this in the summertime with grilled meat.  




The flavors are zippy ~ it’s a wonderful salad on a hot summer night!
