There’s no cooking required for this meal-worthy salad.
I’ve loved pepperoncini since the moment I laid eyes on one in an Olive Garden house salad. In college, I used to order Papa John’s pizza with extra, extra (like, ex-to-the-tra) pepperoncini at least once a week.

From GoopGlow moisturizer to bergamot candles, Gwyneth Paltrow knows what fans want, but glowy skincare aside, this business mogul is a salad savant, crafting a recipe that stars buttery avocados, tender beets, and crunchy pepperoncini—all dressed to the nines.
