Enclose bell peppers in paper bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Season mushrooms and peppers to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, chopped fresh rosemary and garlic clove in food processor. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and process until well blended. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
