Preparation
Pre-heat the oven at 400°F (200°C).

Nicely hull, remove the seeds and display the stem and the pepper on a plate.

Cover with a julienne of celery.

Slice apricots or plums, strawberries with the Micro Slicer, layering on top of the red Bell pepper, and add a few basil leaves.
Crunchy, soft, tender, juicy, sweet, bitter, sour…so much to enjoy in one dish!
