I created this colorful salad for a 4-H project and took it all the way to the state competition, where I won first place! I’d love to have my own Italian restaurant someday.—Seth Murdoch, Red Rock, Texas

This is a beautiful salad, perfect for a home barbecue or a nicer gathering. Note that I roasted the peppers by cutting them and coring/seeding them first, then broiling them on a foil-lined baking sheet, flattened with the heel of my hand. Then I put them in a Ziploc baggie to steam. I also do not add the mozzarella cheese because my daughter has a dairy allergy, but I think it would would be phenomenal with it added.

This salad was delicious. The prep work took a bit of time, but was well worth it in the end.
