RED PEPPERS MELTED WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
I love red peppers and garlic and balsamic vinegar, so this was a no brainer for me! I sometimes add lots of garlic too(5-6 cloves) in with the peppers. You can also add thinly sliced onions. You might want to add just a touch more oil and vinegar if you add more onions. Enjoy! From Outrageous Recipes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peppers: The quality of your peppers will greatly impact the taste of your vinaigrette. Look for peppers that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the peppers before using them: Roasting the peppers will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is another key ingredient in this vinaigrette. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years, as this will give it a more complex flavor.
- Whisk the vinaigrette together thoroughly: This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar and create a smooth, creamy dressing.
- Taste the vinaigrette before using it: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Use the vinaigrette within 2 weeks: The vinaigrette will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. However, the flavor will be best if you use it within a week.
Conclusion:
Red pepper balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.
