Roasted-Pepper & Olive Salad with Fontina

• 6 yellow bell peppers to roast (or 3 cups jarred roasted peppers)
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2-pound chunk fontina from Valle dAosta (or Italian Fontal; see box, page 74)
• 1 cup pitted large green olives
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

1. To roast the peppers: Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Rub the peppers all over with 3 tablespoons olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Roast for 30 minutes or so, turning the peppers occasionally, until their skins are wrinkled and slightly charred.
4. Let the peppers cool completely.
5. Slice them in half through the stem end, discard the stem, peel off the skin, and scrape out the seeds.
6. Slice the peppers into 1/2-inch strips, and place them in a sieve to drain and dry.
7. (If using jarred peppers, slice and drain the same way.)
8. Slice the fontina into 1/4-inch-thick slabs, then into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
9. Slice the olives lengthwise into 1/4-inch slivers.
10. Toss the sliced peppers, cheese, and olives together in a large bowl.
11. For the dressing: Whisk together the cream, mustard, cider vinegar, and remaining salt in a small bowl.
12. Whisk in the remaining olive oil gradually, until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
13. Pour the dressing over the salad; toss and tumble to coat all the pieces.
14. Let the salad sit at room temperature, so the flavors blend, for at least 15 minutes, then sprinkle over it the chopped parsley, toss again, and serve.
15. (You can assemble and dress the salad an hour in advance and keep it refrigerated.
16. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before adding the parsley and serving.)
