This one-pot, super-quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer requires lots of hands-off work (all you need to do is chop up a bell pepper). Bonus: It can hang out in the fridge while you're busy prepping all of your other courses. We recommend a light Italian-style dressing, but any vinaigrette you have on hand would complement the mussels and bell peppers. If you like a little heat, have a bottle of hot sauce handy for your guests to use. Plus, be sure to serve with any remaining wine alongside to really get your party started.
