This Cayenne Grilled Eggplant with Fresh Tomato Salad tastes soooooo good, you will be looking for excuses to make it! Eggplant is one of those vegetables: it’s super versatile. It carries flavors well and it tastes wonderful when it is grilled with smokey char lines. I love to experiment with eggplant and different flavor combinations – and I find that this one really works well!
In this recipe, I combine the grilled eggplant with tomatoes dressed in a mint leaf, chili and lemon juice vinaigrette. I use one of my favorite serving platters to assemble this really delicious and healthy salad. Just before I bring this to the table, I drizzle some yoghurt on top and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves. If I want to make this vegan, I simply omit the yoghurt drizzle – it still tastes absolutely amazing!
To make my Cayenne Grilled Eggplant with Fresh Tomato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the grill to medium.
Take the ¼ cup of olive oil and brush the eggplant all over with it.
Season the eggplant by sprinkling it with the coriander, cayenne and salt to taste.
Place the eggplant on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Place the mint, chilis, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch or two of salt (to taste) in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined. Check seasoning and add more salt if necessary.
Add the tomatoes to the bowl of dressing and stir well to combine.
Mix the yogurt and milk together in a separate bowl or small jug.
To serve, place the eggplant on a large serving platter. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle over the yoghurt mixture. Sprinkle some fresh chopped mint on top to garnish.
