Monster Bell Pepper Salad Cups

October 20, 2017 by Cara

Bowls schmowls. You don’t need no stinkin’ bowls for your side salad at dinner because with these Monster Bell Pepper Salad Cups, the veggies are actually stuffed *inside* the bell peppers. Think of them as your very own portable (and edible) bowl. Now tell me, how amazing are veggies that they could be the dish AND the dish of your feast?! I know, think about it for a second…

Though Halloween is rearing its festive head, these Monster Bell Pepper Salad Cups aren’t just for this spooktacular holiday. They can be enjoyed year round and are especially perfect for the family struggling to get their little tots to eat more veggies. Who knows, maybe this will do the trick with two green olive eyes staring back? Can’t blame a mom or dad for trying.

These Monster Bell Pepper Salad Cups can be a fun alternative to those adorable Pepper Jacks you might been seeing all over the internet (the ones I linked to are from my girl Spa Bettie–hers are always my fave!). If anything, these salad cups are perfect for those who don’t trust themselves (or their skills) with a sharp knife and a bell pepper.
