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.
