Ingredients
- 2 aubergine eggplant
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spring onion
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (438 Fahrenheit).
- Place the aubergines on a tray and roast until the flesh is soft, it could take up to 30-40 minutes depending on their size.
- Leave them to cool completely, then remove the skin and chop the flesh on a chopping board until you get a smooth paste.
- Transfer the chopped aubergines to a colander or flour sifter so their can drain well for at least 30 minutes, as they can have a high water content.
- Add the lemon juice, chopped spring onion and mayonnaise and mix well.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
Notes
- I absolutely love it with mayonnaise, but you can also leave it out and use lemon juice and seasoning only - it is a lot healthier I guess, and it can be a good vegan option.
- The salad can be stored in a air-tight container and kept cool in the fridge for up to 2-3 days if it's made with store-bought mayo, which usually contains pasteurised eggs rather than raw eggs.The aubergines can also be frozen, and you can enjoy a good salad anytime. Roast, chop and squeeze their liquid well, then transfer them to a freezer-friendly bag.
