Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally transparent: 'green' (the color/not ripe) modifies 'pepper' (the vegetable), so it straightforwardly denotes a pepper that is green or harvested unripe. This color + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English composition, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will understand the meaning.
Etymology
Green pepper is a simple, literal name: it is a pepper picked while still green, before it turns red and becomes ripe. That's why green pepper means the 'unripe' pepper people use in salads and cooking.
