Notes
- In the summer, bell peppers are usually sweet, and you can use less honey. However, in the colder months you may need the full 2 teaspoons to balance the flavors.
- This salad recipe can be made a day or so in advance. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, the peppers will begin to soften after 2 or 3 days.
