At a glance
This vibrant salad comes together with minimal hands-on work—you're mainly pan-frying peppers until they're soft and sweet, then tossing together beans, fresh fennel, and tomatoes with a bright lemon dressing. The only heads-up is that the salad tastes best after resting for a few hours, so plan ahead if you're aiming for maximum flavor.

Pan-fry the peppers
Wash the peppers, cut them into larger slices, and fry them in a pan. Cook the peppers in a little oil over low heat for about 15 minutes, until the flesh softens. Once done, cover the pan and let the hot peppers rest for a while.
