This is a fresh & summery vegan Lebanese-style eggplant salad that’s easy to prepare and makes a great addition to any BBQ and seafood dishes. This salad is originally known as ‘Raheb Salad’. It combines grilled smoky eggplants with fresh vegetables and nuts and is eaten with good fresh bread.
In this recipe, we’ll show you how to grill the eggplants in the oven. However, grilling the eggplants on a gas-stove top or over fire would give the salad a more intense smoky flavor. If you happen to have a gas-stove top, remove the hob, line the base with aluminum foil to protect it then return the hob (only the burner should be exposed). Then, prick the eggplants with a knife and grill them – turning them around every 15 mins – till the skin is nicely charred, burnt and soft. When the eggplants are done, put them in a bowl covered with cling film so the vapor would help peel the skin easier. Then peel, put in a colander to drain excess water and they’re ready to use.
We really hope you enjoy this salad !

So good – loving this vegan content!
Beautiful!
Yup happening
Looks really good. A good way to choose eggplants with few seeds is to choose the male eggplants (with a dot, not slot-shaped indentation at the underside of the eggplant). For a chef explanation see: https://youtu.be/EUiV_0Acspc?t=18
It's too yummy I add venegar
This salad is delicious!! Refreshing. And healthy. I am making it a second time and will add it in my regular diet. I was surprised to find the Pomegranate molasses in Market Basket. I had never heard of it before. I love the flavor!!
Thanks🧡
