Italian-Style Roasted Peppers

Ingredients

• 6 large red, green or yellow bell peppers
• 1 cup Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing or Wish-Bone Light® Italian Dressing
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves*
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions

1. Place red peppers in large aluminum-foil-lined baking pan or on broiler rack. Broil, turning occasionally, 20 minutes or until peppers turn almost completely black. Immediately place in paper bag; close bag and let cool about 30 minutes. Peel off skin under cold running water, then remove stems and seeds; slice into long thick strips.
2. Combine peppers with remaining ingredients in large bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator, stirring occasionally, at least 4 hours.
3. For best flavor, serve peppers at room temperature and, if desired, with olives, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes.
