     1/4  c             Fresh basil -- shredded

For more authentic taste and looks, roast peppers until skin is
charred, peel off blackened skin, and then cut into chunks.

Cook potatoes until fork tender, drain, cool, and cut into bite sized
chunks. Mix in remaining salad ingredients. Whisk together the
dressing ingredients, pour over salad, toss gently to coat. Chill
salad for at least 1 to 1-1/2 hours to allow flavours to blend.
Sprinkle fresh basil on top as garnish.
