2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Roast peppers in the oven until blackened. Peel, and then chop into half-inch squares. Place the beans in a bowl and add the remainder of the ingredients. Mix well until combined.
