Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 red bell pepper
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red onion
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams toasted almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Slice the eggplant, zucchini, and red bell peppers into even slices or large strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes and cut the red onion into thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Step 4
Grill the vegetables in batches, ensuring they get nice char marks but aren't overcooked. The eggplant and red bell peppers should be soft and smoky, while the zucchini and onions should remain slightly firm. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Step 5
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, harissa paste, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 6
Chop the grilled vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place them in a serving bowl. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the mix.
Step 7
Drizzle the harissa dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint, then sprinkle them over the salad.
Step 9
Top with toasted almonds for added crunch and serve the salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
