Begin by washing the bell peppers under cold running water. Then, slice the bell peppers into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2

Next, finely slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the bell peppers.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic (just press it until you get a paste), a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. This will be your dressing.

4

Pour the dressing over the sliced peppers and onions in the mixing bowl. Use a spoon to gently toss everything together, ensuring the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

5

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Just before serving, crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.

7

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, tearing them gently before adding for extra aromatic flavor.
