Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 2 tbsp Olive Oil infused with Black Garlic; 1/2 tsp Black Garlic Puree; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1/4 tsp salt; 2 eggplants; 1 large capsicum, roasted; 1 clove garlic, minced (optional); 1/4 cup raisins; 1/4 cup walnut pieces; 1/4 cup chopped parsley; 1/4 cup chopped mint; juice of 1 large lemon (about 60 ml); 1/2 tsp smoked paprika; 1 tsp Olive Oil infused with Black Garlic

Roasting the eggplant with a Black Garlic Puree and smoked paprika spice mix sets this salad up for success.

If you already have Roasted Capsicum to hand (see our recipe here), you don't have to roast the capsicum in the recipe.

Pair it with grilled meats and fresh bread or even nacho chips.

Not all salads have leafy greens. This eggplant salad has smoky notes from the Black Garlic and paprika and fresh notes from the herbs and lemon juice. It is in a class of its own that makes it a stand out on the salad table.
