Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free mayonnaise
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the eggplants directly on the oven rack and roast for about 35-40 minutes or until the skin is wrinkled and the flesh is soft. Rotate the eggplants halfway through for even cooking.
Once the eggplants are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool until they are comfortable to handle.
Peel the skin off the cooled eggplants and finely chop the flesh. Place the chopped eggplant in a large mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the eggplant.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Stir in the gluten-free mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the salad for a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Serve the Salata de Vinete with gluten-free bread or crackers. Enjoy!
