Serves 8

Ingredients:

• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 quarts water
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1 pound wax beans, trimmed and cut in half crosswise
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup (2-ounces) goat cheese, crumbled

Preparation:
Preheat broiler

Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise and discard the seeds and membranes. Place bell pepper halves, skin sides up on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil pepper halves 10 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag and seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and cut into strips.

Bring 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Add beans; cook 4 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Drain; place in a large bowl. Add bell pepper strips, tomatoes, onions and parsley; toss to combine.

Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, cider vinegar and remaining ingredients except goat cheese, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle over salad; toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
