Notes
1. Roasting Peppers - Ensure bell peppers are charred and softened for optimal flavor and texture. Turning peppers occasionally during roasting ensures even charring.
2. Cooling and Peeling - Let roasted peppers cool covered for easy peeling. Remove skins, seeds, and stems from peppers before slicing.
3. Flavorful Dressing - Combine minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper for a tangy dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste for a perfectly balanced flavor.
