Serve this crunchy, creamy, and zesty salad by itself or with roast lamb.
Yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
for the dressing:
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- ¼ tbsp walnut oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 eggplants, peeled
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
- ½ cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts
- 2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 3 tbsp chopped parsley
