  1. After a crazy week, we decided to have a quiet night at home (Saturday night!). We were in the mood for a salad but I wanted to “bump” it up a notch. I remembered seeing this on your site. This is absolutely DELICIOUS! As Jack said…”it’s a keeper”. It took me a little bit longer to put together because I roasted my own peppers. Well worth it! This will be a great recipe for my Bunco nights, Book Club, or a casual night with friends after golf. Thank you!!!
