    Recipe Introduction


    Summer eating at its best--ripe, juicy tomatoes and crisp peppers, accented with a hint of Dijon-style mustard and blue-veined cheese.

    List of Ingredients




    Yellow Pepper and Red Tomato Salad


    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil
    • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion or snipped fresh chives
    • 2 teaspoons snipped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
    • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
    • 3 large yellow sweet peppers, thinly sliced into rings (about 3 cups)
    • 3 large red tomatoes, sliced
    • 2 - 3 cups spinach leaves
    • 2/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or blue cheese (3 ounces)

    Recipe




    1. For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine olive oil or salad oil, vinegar, green onion, or chives, basil, sugar, mustard, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Chill, if desired.

    2. In a skillet cook sweet pepper rings, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes or just until crisp-tender; drain and cool. Chill, if desired.

    3. To serve, arrange tomato slices and sweet pepper rings on a spinach-lined platter. Sprinkle crumbled cheese over salad. Shake dressing well; drizzle over salad. Makes 4 to 6 side-dish servings.

    Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare dressing; cover and chill up to 24 hours. Cook peppers; drain and cool. Cover and chill up to 24 hours.
