Turn on the broiler to medium-high. Place the bell pepper onto a baking tray and under the broiler. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove tray and turn over the bell pepper halves. Add the zucchini to the tray and broil for a further 3 to 4 minutes, turning the zucchini after about 2 minutes. Remove vegetables once the bell pepper skin is blackened and blistered in places and the flesh is soft. Allow vegetables to cool.

Once cool, remove red pepper skin and slice the flesh into strips. Place in a bowl along with the zucchini, cannellini beans, green onions, and parsley.

Pour the olive oil and vinegar over the salad and toss well. Season with black pepper if desired.

Divide into two servings. Serve with toasted pita bread, broken up into 'chips'.

TIP: You can also use a grill pan on the stove to grill the vegetables.
