2. Cover the vegetables with the boiling water, mix well and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, combine in a small bowl the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and black pepper. Beat the salad dressing briskly with a fork until well combined.
4. Drain the blanched bell pepper strips and pat dry with paper toweling. Return the bell peppers back to the bowl and pour over the salad dressing, mixing well.
5. If not using immediately, pour the salad dressing into a jar with a lid and refrigerate.
