This Israeli eggplant salad is coming to you right from my mother’s kitchen in Israel. It’s simple, healthy, and delicious (or so they say… More on this in the video). It’s a great salad that should last in the fridge for up to a week!

hey guys another recipe for my mother I am in Israel and we’re getting ready for Passover I posted a roasted pepper salad recipe and it’s delicious if you haven’t checked that out then go and do that really really simple recipe and this one is another very simple recipe and this is a eggplant salad now I personally don’t eat eggplants I love growing eggplants but when I was 6 years old I had a babysitter that forced me to eat eggplants and I puked for what I remember a week probably wasn’t a week but that’s how traumatic it was and since then I have never in my life ate eggplant in fact the smell is uh really hard for me but I love growing that vegetable um the plant is beautiful and the uh vegetable is beautiful I can’t personally eat it but I’m sure some of you love egg plants so I really wanted to share this one with you um you’ll see that we’re starting with eggplant that is already um baked in the oven so basically the first step that we’re missing here is slicing the eggplant and you can peel them or not peel them it doesn’t matter um but slice the eggplants to slices that are about um like half an inch thick or something like that and then put them on parchment paper line them on parchment paper on a baking sheet and then take a oil spray and just spray them lightly then put in a 350° oven for 20 to 25 minutes you want them soft and uh golden at that point you can freeze them so if you have a lot of eggplant that are coming from the garden and you want to do that first step and then just freeze them we’re going to use two so if you are planning to make the salad in the future then you can um just pack them in two eggplant bags and then you know that they’re already ready to go then the rest you’re going to see here we’re going to slice them and then add some pickles and dry tomatoes and all this good stuff so I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe and um I will put all the information in the notes and the links in the description below enjoy here you can see the baked or roasted eggplants uh basically my mom just took the bag out of the freezer she already have the bag and portions of two eggplants so she knows that that’s like a portion for her salad and it’s easy to just take the bag out of the freezer and let it thaw uh usually overnight or something like that for a few hours is fine then go ahead and dice the eggplants um you can leave them in large pieces you can do a little smaller pieces however you like it is just [Music] fine next remove the leaves from a bunch of cilantro we’re just going to use the leaves you can toss the stems away give the leaves a good wash sometimes they have some sand on them especially if they come from the store and then you want to give them a good chop before you add them to the bowl with the diced [Music] eggplants we’re going to add pickles to this salad um in um my household in Israel when we use pickles it’s almost always um salted pickles so lacto fermented uh pickles I have both a video on this channel on how to make lacto fermented cucumbers and also a blog post on the blog that is called Israeli pickle recipe I think but um you can use any kind of pickles that you you like here deal pickle pickles or even hamburger pickles whatever whatever kind of pickles you like just um slice them and dice them and add them to the Bowl dried tomatoes are next um I think my mom used like four 4 half dried tomatoes or something like that it’s a salad so I’ll have the measurements on the blog but you can just go ahead and add more or less depending on how much you like dried tomatoes give them uh Dice and add them to the Bowl as [Music] well last but not least is garlic um if this garlic looks a little weird for you to you it’s just because it was frozen U my mom likes to peel a whole lot of garlic cloves and stick them in a bag and put them in the freezer this way she has them peeled and ready to go anytime she needs garlic just give it a good dice and add it to the Bowl as well after that all that we have to do is add the um seasonings we use some lemon juice fresh lemon juice and black pepper cumin olive oil and salt to taste then you just give the salad a good toss and it is ready to be served um another great thing about this salad is that you can easily keep it in the fridge for about a week and you can also make it ahead before a party so it’s a very good salad um if you just need something ready to go in the fridge or if you’re getting ready for a big event that’s it you guys again all the links the measurements everything is going to be linked below I hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one
