Add minced garlic to the dressing, using a generous amount.

Mix the dressing and the juices released from the peppers together.

Arrange the grilled peppers in a bowl and pour the dressing over them.

Mix gently and prick the peppers with a fork to help the liquid absorb.

Let the salad rest in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
