Ingredients:

Serving

1 red bell pepper
1/2 medium-size purple onion
1 medium cucumber
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1/3 cup minced dried tomato
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 garlic clove, pressed

Directions:

Place bell pepper on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
Broil 5 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) about 5 minutes on each side or until blistered.
Place pepper in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skin. Peel pepper; remove and discard seeds. Dice pepper and onion; peel, seed, and dice cucumber. Set vegetables aside.
Whisk oil and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl.
Cook mustard and cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until toasted; immediately stir into oil mixture. Add tomato and cilantro, stirring dressing well.
