Ingredients:

Serving

3 red bell peppers
3 yellow bell peppers
3 orange bell peppers
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/2-3/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
italian bread, thinly sliced and grilled
1 lb mozzarella cheese , cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
fresh basil leaf, for garnish
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup pure olive oil
2 tbsp capers, drained
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions:

Heat the grill to high. Brush bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper; grill the peppers until charred on all sides. Remove from grill, place in bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin from the peppers, brush them with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper, and place back on the grill and cook until slightly charred on all sides.
Slice peppers into quarters or to fit over bread slices. Place a slice of mozzarella over each pepper and drizzle with the Caper-Basil Vinaigrette. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
For the vinaigrette:.
Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Stir in the capers and basil.
