Directions:
Blanch pepper quarters for 5 minutes. Drain, cool and blot with paper towels. Meanwhile, make the marinade in a large zip-top plastic bag by mixing vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, sugar and paprika, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add pepper quarters, seal the bag and turn over several times so peppers are completely coated. Refrigerate flat for 24 hours, flipping over after 12 hours.
When ready to serve, place peppers on individual plates or a platter. Toss with cucumbers and onions. Top with olives and cheese cubes. Drizzle some of the marinade over all and serve immediately.
