– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 cup of pineapple chunks
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced

– 2 tbsp of honey
– 2 tbsp of rice vinegar
– 1 tbsp of sesame oil
– 1 tsp of ginger, grated

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk the marinade until well combined.
