Poor Man’s Supper

This colorful salad combines grilled fresh peppers with the savory condiments from the Umbrian pantry—anchovies, capers, olives, and, of course, olive oil. I like to serve it on a platter of affettati (sliced prosciutto and other cured meats), or as a topping for grilled bread. And with the addition of fresh mozzarella, hard-cooked eggs, or boiled potatoes, it becomes a light yet satisfying summer lunch. The basic salad in the recipe can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated—let it come to room temperature before adding embellishments and serving.
