- Serve, spooned over the lettuce leaves.
Chef's notes
If you plan to take this salad on a picnic or as a work lunch, then pack the lettuce leaves separately in a plastic bag and top with the bean salad just before serving so that the dressing does noΒt wilt the leaves.
I think my method for roasting sweet peppers is quicker, easier and nicer as you get a proper smoky taste from charring them. See here for a quick how-to
