scrape off the charred skins with a knife. Slit the peppers open;
seed and de-vein them, and cut into long slivers. To make the

moderate heat until they darken a few shades. Place the seeds, the
remaining dressing indgredients, and one roasted pepper in a blender
and process until creamy. Just before serving, peel, seed and dice
the avocado, sprinkle with lime juice. Pour 1 third of the dressing
over the beans and gently mix. On individual plates or a platter,
arrange black beans, peppers and tomatoes, green beans and avocado.
