Roasted Pepper and Parmesan Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
8 small or 4 large Belgian endive
4 arugula leaves or watercress sprigs
1/2 cup shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup FILIPPO BERIO® Olive Oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  Salt and freshly ground black pepper
   
Place bell peppers on baking sheet. Broil, 4 to 5 inches from heat, 5 minutes on each side or until entire surface of each bell pepper is blistered and blackened slightly. Place bell peppers in paper bag. Close bag; cool 15 to 20 minutes. Cut around cores of bell peppers; twist and remove. Cut bell peppers lengthwise in half. Peel off skins with paring knife; rinse under cold water to remove seeds. Slice bell peppers into strips. Peel leaves from endive; rinse under cold water and pat dry. Arrange endive in spoke-like fashion on 4 plates. Top with bell peppers and arugula.
Sprinkle with cheese. In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar and basil. Drizzle over endive mixture. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
