Dice & Toss: Dice any color bell pepper and toss it on a pizza before baking, into pasta sauce as it cooks, or into an omelette before you fold it
Sizzle: Toss a bell pepper in the wok the next time you crave a stir-fried meal
Add Texture to Almost Any Dish: Bell peppers are a simple addition to main dishes. Try them in pasta primavera, soups, stews, or chicken or tuna salad
Stack & Wrap: For extra crunch, color, flavor and nutrition, stack slices of any color bell pepper on wraps and sandwiches
Be Green-er: For extra color and flavor, add sliced or diced bell peppers to your favorite green salad
