- Roast the peppers evenly by turning them occasionally until the skins are blackened. This ensures they cook through and develop a sweet, smoky flavor.
- To easily peel the peppers after roasting, place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. The steam will help loosen the skins.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
- Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar to enhance the overall taste of the salad. A balsamic vinegar can add a slight sweetness if preferred.
- Combine the ingredients just before serving to keep the basil leaves fresh and vibrant.
