bellpepper
Colorful salad crunch
A bell pepper is a large, mild variety of capsicum with a distinctive blocky shape and crisp flesh.
Unlike hot peppers, bell peppers have no heat.
They come in green, red, yellow, and orange—green being unripe, the others sweeter and more expensive.
Dice some bell pepper for the salad.
Also spelled as two words: bell pepper.
