1. Slice the peppers fine into rings, discarding the cores and seeds, and place the rings in a serving bowl.
2. Combine oil, lemon juice, pinch of mustard, salt and pepper to taste in a screw-top jar and shake until mixture is well blended (or whisk together in small bowl), then pour it over the peppers and let them marinate for four hours. Add the cheeses and onion to the peppers and toss all of the ingredients together.

This was a nice combination of smooth and crunchy textures, as well as a great mix of flavors. I used smoked cheddar instead of the first cheese listed because I couldn't find it anywhere!<br/>made for ZWT9 Soup a Stars

My husband really loved this and I liked it a lot so it is a solid four stars from our home. I made this for ZWT #6's trip to Scandinavia and I'm glad I gave it a try. It is a beautiful dish that has delicious cheeses in every bite!
