Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the peppers from the grill and place them on a cutting board to cool slightly.
Once cooled, cut the grilled peppers into strips and transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the sliced peppers.
Tear the fresh basil leaves over the peppers to garnish.
