Ingredients

• 4 whole Red bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 2 cups Mixed greens (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Toasted pine nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven or broiler to high heat.

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 3

Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam, which will make peeling easier.

Step 4

Once cooled, peel off the charred skins, remove the stems, and discard the seeds. Cut the peppers into thin strips and set them aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley and chives finely, and add them to the vinaigrette mixture.

Step 7

In a large bowl, toss the roasted red pepper strips with the vinaigrette until evenly coated.

Step 8

If desired, arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter and top with the dressed red peppers. Otherwise, serve the peppers as is.

Step 9

Garnish with toasted pine nuts for added crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or let the salad sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
