halloumi aubergine salad


401269_10152288738955463_450930106_nTo begin, eggplants are not vegetables but fruits and to take it one step further, a berry to be exact.

I love aubergine especially when they are combined with halloumi. This salad is very simple and yummy.

Mix greens, grilled halloumi and grilled aubergine, 3 ingredients salad. Easy and fast to prepare it for a healthy dinner.

I like it with lemon and olive oil dressing. For a tastier lemon dressing add a pinch of brown sugar. It makes a difference.
