For a richer, smokier flavor, roast the red bell peppers before slicing. Simply roast them under the broiler until the skins are blackened, then place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam. Once cooled, the skins will easily peel off. Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar, such as white balsamic or sherry vinegar. Add a handful of Kalamata olives or toasted pine nuts for extra texture and flavor. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits.
