    Cold Eggplant Salad Recipe

    Attention eggplant lovers, this cold eggplant salad is AMAZING! Simple, quick, easy and pairs so well with any grilled or baked chicken or meat.

    This salad also is super easy to put together, can be made ahead of time, stored in the fridge for so long, and it is SO delicious!

    Although this salad is more delicious eaten cold, you may like it warm; it is a personal preference.

    I’m a super fan of eggplants. And this roasted eggplant salad is just so perfect; it is light, and roasting the eggplants adds an even more delicious smokey flavour. I LOVE it.

    Ingredients

    Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Eggplant: I used 3 medium eggplants, and I also like to peel them. However, you may leave the peel on if you like. When you buy the eggplant, look for the firm with a shiny skin.

    For The Dressing: I used cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, spring onion, salt and ground black pepper.

    Parsley: To garnish the dish.

    Note: If you like it spicy, add finely chopped red chili.

    How to Make Mediterranean Cold Eggplant Salad

    Before starting, preheat the oven to 200c / 400f.

    One (Prepare the eggplants): You can peel the eggplants or leave the skin on as you wish (i peeled it) then slice to a medium-sized thickness.

    Two: Spray a baking sheet with oil then arrange the eggplant slices in the sheet.

    Three: Spray oil in both sides of each slice.

    Four (Bake the eggplants): Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they become golden brown.

    Five (Prepare the sauce): In a bowl, mix spring onion, minced garlic, chopped tomato, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.

    Six (Add the sauce to the eggplants): Once you take the eggplant out of the oven, put it in a bowl then pour some of the sauce over them. Keep doing that until you finish all the eggplants.

    Tip: You must add the sauce to the eggplant while hot to absorb the sauce.

    Seven: Mix the eggplant well with the sauce (be careful the eggplant is so soft). Garnish with chopped parsley.
