I cheated and used jarred roasted peppers. This was so good - all the ingredients were vibrant and literally 'sang' together. Loved biting into bits of preserved lemon (which I love using). Thanks for a great recipe!

Finally something to do with that jar of preserved lemons I have in the back of my fridge! I loved the flavours of this recipe and how the sharpness of the lemons worked so well against the salty nature of the capers and cheese. I used reduced fat feta and everything worked fine. Made for Zee Zany Zesty Cookz for ZWT6.

Not only did I have to use lemon juice instead of preserved lemons, I also misread the recipe and put in about 350g of feta. Still, once the peppers are roasted, this is a very quick salad, and even my dairy-hating husband enjoyed it!
