Tri-Color Peppers with Goat Cheese

Ingredients:

• Red pepper
• Green pepper
• Yellow pepper (Yes, you could use just one color, but it wouldn’t be nearly as appealing to the eye.)
• Fresh basil, cut into thin “ribbons” (in a pinch, you can use basil from a jar)
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• Cracked black pepper

Dressing:

• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar (we use Diabetisweet version)

Cut the peppers into large chunks, approximately 4 per pepper, avoiding the seeds. Lightly coat with a little oil. Grill at 400 degrees on your grill until the peppers have just a small amount of char on each side.

Arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and basil. Mix the dressing until it is well-blended. Drizzle on the dressing. Top with a little black pepper from your pepper grinder (optional). Serve warm.

This is a beautiful side dish which makes a great accompaniment to just about any main course.
