Ingredients (makes 6 servings)
Marinade:
Dressing:
- 6 tbsp tahini sesame paste (96 g/ 3.4 oz)
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Erythritol or Swerve
- water as required
- Optional: salt and pepper if required
Salad:
- 1 large or 2 medium eggplants (550 g/ 1.2 lb)
- 250 g roasted red peppers, drained (8.8 oz)
- 2 cups kale, sliced (100 g/ 3.5 oz)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients to make the dressing and set aside.
- Combine the marinade ingredients into a small bowl and place a grill pan over high heat.
- Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the eggplant.
- Lay the slices out and brush with the marinade before placing then in the grill pan to cook.
- Keep a close eye on them as they will burn very easily. Repeat with all of the slices until the eggplant is cooked. Remove the eggplant onto a plate and sit to one side.
- Place the chopped kale into the hot pan and toss in the residual heat until wilted.
- Layer the kale, roasted peppers and eggplant on a serving platter and top with parsley.
- Combine all of the drizzle ingredients together and thin with water to your desired consistency.
- Drizzle over the warm salad. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
