Ingredients

1 Tbl. balsamic vinegar

1 tsp. evoo

1 tsp. flaxseed oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded **

2 large tamatoes, cut into 1/2"-thick slices

2 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices

1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, juienned

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Coat a broiler-pan rack with cooking spray.

In a cup, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, flaxseed oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Place the bell peppers, skin side up, on the prepared rack. Broil, without turning, for 10 minutes, or until the skins are blackened and blistered in spots.

Place the peppers in a paper bag and seal. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Peel the skin from the peppers and discard. Cut the peppers into 1/2"-wide strips.

Arrange the tomato slices on a platter. Place the cheese slices over the tomatoes. Scatter the pepper strips on top and sprinkle with the basil. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Let stand for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

**If you don't have time to roast fresh peppers, you can use jarred roasted peppers instead.

I love this salad. Thank you for posting it. You mentioned a couple of great things: healthy, low fat and good for you recipes. I look forward to that. Some of the snacks in my pantry are made from the South Beach Diet. If I MUST have something sweet, they satisfy the urge. Thank you again.

Hi Ruskin, thanks for this! I LOVE the South Beach cookbook. Can you add "South Beach" to the title? DK about everybody else, but that's a search term I use a lot.
