Who hates green peppers?? Green peppers are listed as one of the most disliked vegetables by kids.
I know this green pepper salad doesn't look instagram-worthy at all!! Haha!
However, the taste is certainly guaranteed. I really want you to try this recipe, especially for those who don't like green peppers.
The green peppers soaked up all the good umami-dashi flavor which is essential for Japanese food. As a result, the distinct bitterness of the bell peppers become more mild.
My picky kids even approve of this recipe! I call them veggie detectors since they can easily find and take out as many veggies as I sneaked in. Haha.
I hope you and your kids will like it!
