Roasted Peppers and Spinach Salad With Pesto Vinaigrette image

Taken from Sobeys Inspired magazine Spring 2011 with adjustments. You can use yellow or orange peppers if you prefer. I cut the original recipe back to serve two, but didn't change the dressing amounts, so you will have some leftover. Prep time does not include roasting of the pepper.
