Ingredients

Directions

  1. I can never resist stopping at a farmer's produce stand and feasting my eyes on the brilliant array of colors displayed, especially when the season reaches its peak in August. One day, a glorious display of huge red, yellow, and green peppers, with the sign, Stop and Go Traffic Stopping Peppers, caught my eye. It was the inspiration for this Italian antipasto-type potato salad. [] not Spike-speak[]
  2. Cover the potatoes with cool water and bring to the boil. Boil gently till done, about 20 min, depending on size of potatoes. Test for doneness with the tip of a knife.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, cut a thin slice from the base of each bell pepper so which the pepper will stand upright. Then cut a slice off the stem end, to leave an opening large sufficient to permit stuffing with the potato salad later.
  4. For added color, dice the flesh from these slices, and add in them to the salad when you toss it. With your fingers, remove the seeds and ribs and from inside of the peppers. Sprinkle the insides of the peppers with salt and pepper and turn them upside down on paper towels. Let stand till you finish preparing the potato salad.
  5. When the potatoes are cooked and cold sufficient to handle, peel and cut into 1/4 inch cubes. Place the potato cubes in a medium size bowl. Set them aside and let cold.
  6. To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, oregano and pepper. Gradually whisk in the extra virgin olive oil till an emulsion forms.
  7. Add in the scallions, provolone and salami to the potatoes and mix gently.
  8. Pour the dressing over all and toss gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  9. Turn the peppers right side up and fill with the potato mix. Top each filled pepper with an olive and a sprig of parsley or possibly basil. Place a lettuce leaf on each individual plate and top with a pepper.
  10. Serve immediately, or possibly cover and chill for up to 2 hrs. Serve chilled.
