Roasted Peppers and Spinach Salad With Pesto Vinaigrette

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.

What a wonderful salad! I really loved the roasted red bell pepper strips. The dressing was wonderful, easy and healthy. I'm excited because I have some red pepper strips and dressing left over and can use it again in the salad tonight! One note, there was no listing for shallots in the ingredient list, but it is in the directions. Luckily, I had some in my pantry. They were a great addition! ~Made for Photo TagReply
