I had the same Very Happy

Here is what I've done with it. I broiled peppers in the oven turning them so that all sides got that broiled charred appearance. Cool a little and peel off skin; took out seeds and sliced into strips. Put in a bowl. Then, cut up two small onions (it was for 6 peppers) in half-circles and chopped two cloves of fresh garlic. Sauteed them in pan with a bit of oil. Added to the peppers and gently tossed them around. Salt and pepper to taste. I put them in the fridge and will have tonight for the meal.

Do you have the KBD kids cookbook? There's a recipe for "Rainbow Salad," which is really good. Basically it calls for different color peppers cut into strips, fresh string beans & sugar snap peas, sliced carrots, baby corn, & sliced red onion. If you don't have all those veggies, I'm sure you can just slice up the peppers & flavor them with the dressing:

1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

There's also a really easy recipe in the Spice and Spirit cookbook called Sweet Red Pepper salad. You can use all the colors though and basically you cook up oil, vinegar and sugar and pour it over the sliced peppers and they marinate in the juice. Its really yummy!

Fake Grilled Veggie Salad
We live in a city apartment and can't grill and it gets my goat to see all those grilled yummy recipes. Here's our substitute:
Grill 2 red or green bell peppers until broiler, turning until charred. Place peppers in plastic bag to cool. Remove skin and seeds. Dice.
Scald, peel, seed, and chop 4 large red tomatoes coarsely.
In medium mixing bowl, combine veggies with 1/3 cup parsley, 1 clove garlic, 2 tablespooons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. cumin.
Chill. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
