Instructions:
Combine capsicum, Italian dressing in a bowl and refrigerate for several hours. Serve with crusty bread, lean pastrami or ham and cheese.
Another Fresh Idea
Vegetable kebabs are great on the barbecue or under the griller. Cut capsicum and onion into squares and spear on a bamboo stick, alternating with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Brush with oil flavoured with garlic and a few basil leaves, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Kids love them.
Handy Hints
Strips of capsicum add flavour to beans, broccoli, cabbage or cauliflower when cooking or steaming.
A quick and nutritious snack: capsicum dipped in peanut butter.
Capsicum is great in casseroles, soups and stir-fry.
Multi-coloured capsicum add lots of colour to your favourite dish.
