Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 400 g gouda cheese, diced
- 1 small can of corn (drained)
- Garlic, to taste, finely chopped
- Vinegar
- Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients before starting. Wash the red, green, and yellow bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Remove the seeds and stems from each bell pepper, then dice them into small, even cubes for a uniform salad texture.
- Cut the Gouda cheese into small, bite-sized cubes, aiming for a similar size as the diced bell peppers to ensure even distribution of flavors in the salad.
- Open the small can of corn and drain it thoroughly in a sieve or colander to remove excess liquid. Set aside.
- Peel the desired amount of garlic and finely chop or mince it. Adjust the quantity according to your preference for garlic flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red, green, and yellow bell peppers, the drained corn, the diced Gouda cheese, and the chopped garlic. Mix everything gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare the dressing by adding a generous splash of oil (such as sunflower or olive oil) and vinegar (such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar) directly to the bowl. Start with about 2 tablespoons of each, then adjust to your taste.
- Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Begin with a pinch of each, then taste and add more if needed.
- Using two large spoons or salad tongs, gently toss all the ingredients together so that the oil, vinegar, and seasonings coat all the pieces evenly. Take care not to break up the cheese cubes.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate the salad for several hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to develop its full taste.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and taste it once more. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, oil, or vinegar if necessary. Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
Notes
This salad tastes best when prepared the day before, as the flavors have time to blend together. You can use other types of cheese if you prefer, such as Emmental or Edam. For an extra kick, add some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Adjust the amount of garlic to your liking, or omit if preferred.
