Directions

  1. 1. Place the bell peppers over the burners or a gas range (if you don't have a gas range, you can place them under a broiler, or over an outdoor grill). Cook, turning with tongs, until the peppers are blackened. Place them in a paper bag, and let them rest for 20 minutes. Remove from bag. And peel off the blackened skin (do not run the peppers under water). Remove the stem, seeds, and ribs. Cut into little cubes.
  2. 2. Cut the mozzarella into small dice, and mix with the red pepper. Add the parsley, the oil, and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3. Divide the salad greens among 4 plates, and top with the smoked mozzarella mixture. Serve immediately.
