GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD



GRILLED VEGETABLE
            SALAD


Vegetables are essential food for me. In Turkish cuisine there are many dishes with vegetables. One of my favorite is fried eggplant with tomato sauce. Frying eggplants  taste is so good but unfortunately  not good for health. I have been trying to find healthy way to cook eggplants. This recipe is one of them. It is also ideal for vegetarians.
This salad is a  delicious and healthy salad. It can be served  as a salad or side dish with meat, chicken or fish. Making it a day before serving increases the flavour. The vegetable infuse all flavour of dressing.


INGREDIENTS

2 eggplants-  aubergines  , thinly sliced
2 zucchini -courgettes, thinly sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 red peppers,
1 green pepper,


For dressing
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar,
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons basil, chopped
1 teaspoon salt

Grill vegetables in heated  grill pan until tender. Place all vegetables in a bowl. Add dressing , mix well.

For dressing combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well.
