Beans, lentils, and celery make a delicious and flavorful side salad perfect to serve with a grilled steak.

• Preheat broiler. Cut bell peppers in half and remove membranes and seeds. Place, skin-sideup, on a broiler pan. Broil peppers for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered.

• Remove from the broiler and, when cool enough to handle, pull away the blackened skin; cut peppers into narrow strips. Combine the peppers, beans, lentils, celery, basil, and parsley in a medium bowl.

• In a small bowl, combine vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper and blend well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
