Makes 4 servings.

I know that skinning the peppers is a bit time-consuming, but it is well worth it.  This dish can be made a few days ahead, and the flavor actually improves with time.  

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 bell peppers, orange, red and yellow

DRESSING:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey 

  • ¼ cup loosely packed flat leaf parsley

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Preheat the broiler.

Trim both ends of the peppers, cut in half, seed and quarter.

Place the peppers on a foil lined broiler pan skin side up. 

Broil close to the heat source for about 7 minutes, or until the skin is blistered and charred. Cover the peppers with foil and cool briefly.

Peel off the skin and place in a bowl.

Combine the dressing ingredients and pour over the peppers. Add parsley, season to taste with salt, pepper, vinegar and honey, and combine well.
