Fall is in the air. We entered the autumn equinox last week and I am thrilled. Usually, in Dallas, the scorching summer weather lasts till end of October but mother nature appears to be kind this year. We  already had few fall like days.

Before getting started with the warm spices and cozy fall flavors, I wanted to bid good bye to summer with a vibrant, fresh, colorful salad.

Bell peppers, sweet peppers, capsicum whatever you call them are packed with nutrients and a broad range of antioxidants.  This healthy sautéed salad retains concentrated nutrients and brings the best flavor of bell peppers.  This is a great salad to enjoy as is or can be served as a side dish. I like it hot, but it’s great when it’s cold as well.  If you are not serving as salad, this goes well as a side with bread, rice, or biryani.

Good bye summer and welcome Fall!
