Roasted Peppers and Spinach Salad With Pesto Vinaigrette image

Taken from Sobeys Inspired magazine Spring 2011 with adjustments. You can use yellow or orange peppers if you prefer. I cut the original recipe back to serve two, but didn't change the dressing amounts, so you will have some leftover. Prep time does not include roasting of the pepper.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better.

Not a fan of pesto, but this salad was still good. I used a balsamic vinaigrette instead, and it was delicious.

The roasted peppers were a bit too smoky for my taste, but the salad was still good. Next time, I'll try roasting them for a shorter amount of time.

Easy to make and delicious. I used a store-bought pesto, and it still turned out great.
