This is a Warm Mediterranean Salad mix that is suited to winter and summer alike. We had it at dinner last night with oven roasted chicken. Great for winter. In the summer months it would be nice served alongside a barbecue and could be served at room temperate or even cold.
I make this particular mix of veggies so often and don’t really think of it as a real recipe. I can be put together in minutes and then just thrown in the oven until dinner. It is very flavoursome and packed full of goodness. The chickpeas give it a punch of protein which add to it being more substantial. Sometimes I have it as a lunch dish all on its own.
Notes About The Salad
- When slicing the eggplant and zucchini, don’t cut them too thin or they may scorch and burn.
- Also, when you do stir them around half way through cooking, make sure to give all the vegetables a flip to ensure even cooking. If you like whole roasted garlic, you could easily add whole cloves through the dish for extra flavour.
