PEPPERS: Peel, slice eggplants. Place in colander and salt lightly. Let

(Eggplant should be lightly browned and outer green pepper skin charred).
Place green pepper in paper bag, let stand 1/2 hour. peel green pepper
under running water. Dice eggplant slices and green pepper. Place in large
bowl. POTATO: Boil potatoes until tender (about 10 minutes). Cool. peel,
dice and place in bowl with other vegetables. OTHER VEGETABLES: Peel, seed
and chop tomato. Chop celery. Slice pitted black olives. Put tomatoes,
celery and olives in bowl. Mix well. DRESSING: Mix olive oil, vinegar,
garlic, pepper and basil. Pour over vegetables in bowl. Toss well. Let
marinate at room temperature at least 1/2 hour and then put in fridge. Toss
and stir occasionally.
