Is this ready in fifteen minutes?

The chopping and dressing take about fifteen minutes. Allow at least another thirty minutes for the salad to chill before serving; the refrigerator time is separate from the hands-on preparation.

Does this salad contain mayonnaise?

No. The dressing uses olive oil and lemon juice with salt and pepper. There is no mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream in the base recipe.

Can I use different colored sweet peppers?

Yes. Use sweet bell peppers and keep the total diced amount the same. Different colors change the appearance without requiring a different preparation method.

Should I warm it before serving?

No. Serve it cold. The uncooked cucumber and peppers are chosen for their fresh, crisp texture, which heating would change.

How should I interpret the nutrition figures?

The card carries the supplied recipe's nutrition estimates, not a laboratory measurement of your bowl. Ingredient brands, seasoning and the size of each serving can change the actual values.
