4 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
2 cucumbers, peeled and cut into ¼-inch-thick quarters
1 cup chopped parsley and basil
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup olive oil plus more for grilling
Combine shallots with vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Turn the grill to medium. As it heats, drizzle olive oil over

reaches the proper temperature.
Char ciabatta, peppers and tomatoes on both sides. When
they are thoroughly grilled, remove from grill and place on

the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, shallots, vinegar, herbs
and olive oil.
Serve warm.
