- 1 small eggplant, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, deseed, diced
- 1/2 cup black olives
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- a handful mixed greens
- a handful of parsley, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons 21 Seasoning Salute, you can find it in the spice aisle at your grocery
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and ground pepper or red chili pepper flakes to taste
FOR THE DRESSING
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the eggplant and zucchini into the prepared pan.
Drizzle with oil, season with garlic powder, 21 Seasoning Salute, red chili pepper flakes. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
Make the dressing. Combine all the dressing ingredients, stir to mix well. In a bowl, combine the roasted eggplant, zucchini, diced tomato, onion, greens, black olives, feta cheese, and drizzle the dressing. Garnish with parsley and sprinkle your favorite nuts.
- Nuts are optional
- I like candied pecans on all my salads
- Another way to making this salad very filling is to have some lentils. Cook it, add to the salad but you have to make an extra dressing.
