This is a very simple recipe of the Algerian tomato pepper salad. You may find recipes with the add of garlic to the tomato pepper mixture.
Usually the peppers and tomatoes are either fried in vegetable or canola oil or grilled on the stove but I prefer to bake the peppers and tomatoes as it is less work.
The number of peppers and tomatoes depends of your personal choice. If you like too much tomatoes in your salad then add more.
The Algerian tomato pepper salad is served with the Algerian traditional bread (different types) but it can be served with any type of bread such as pita bread.
