Fried Eggplant Salad

Fried Eggplant Salad

I love this recipe because of the bold, spicy flavours of the fried eggplant...so simple but so tasty!

What you Need:

Fried Eggplant

1 eggplant- sliced into ¼ inch pieces

2-3 tsp. of turmeric spice

1-2 tsp. coarse sea salt

5-6 tbsp. mustard seed oil

Salad

2 cups of mixed greens

½ yellow pepper-sliced

½ tomato- sliced and diced

2-3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil

1-2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 tsp. coarse sea salt

1 tsp. black ground pepper

How to make it Happen:

Arrange mixed greens on a separate plate and add sliced yellow peppers and diced tomatoes. Whisk the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper until the ingredients are combined and add the dressing to the salad.   

Next, slice the eggplant into ¼ inch pieces and place them separately on a plate.  Rub both sides of the eggplant with the turmeric spice until they are completely coated and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of the eggplant.  

In a separate frying pan heat 5-6 tablespoons of mustard seed oil. Once the oil is warm, carefully place the eggplant pieces in the pan to cook until they are golden brown. Flip the eggplant pieces every few minutes until they are golden in colour.

Once the eggplant is completely cooked, place the pieces on top of the mixed greens.
