Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler. Place whole bell peppers or large chile peppers on foil-covered baking sheet. Broil, 4 inches from heat, 7 to 10 min. or until peppers are evenly blackened, turning occasionally. Place in paper bag; close bag. Let stand 20 min. or until peppers are cooled. Remove peppers from bag. Peel away blackened skins with small knife; discard skins. Cut peppers lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. Use roasted peppers as directed in recipe.

DIVIDE cheese, basil, peppers and tomatoes among 16 small wooden skewers or wooden toothpicks. Place in small shallow dish. Add dressing; turn skewers to evenly coat ingredients with dressing.

LET stand at room temperature 20 min. to marinate, turning occasionally.

REMOVE skewers from marinade just before serving; discard marinade.
