Salad Ingredients:

57g (2 oz.) parmesan cheese;

1 small aubergine (350g or ¾ lb.) cut in 3 mm (1/8”) slices;

Olive oil for brushing.

Dressing Ingredients:

1tsp. balsamic vinegar;

1 tsp. parsley leaves, finely chopped;

1 Stevia tablet (natural calorie and carbohydrate free sweetener - tiny but powerful) or any other sweetener of your choice;

1 large garlic clove pealed and pushed through a garlic press;

¼ tsp. crushed chilli flakes;

Black pepper.

How to Make the Eggplant Salad:

Make the dressing by binding all of the ingredients together and set aside.
First of all, we need to prepare the aubergine for cooking. Place the aubergine slices into a colander and sprinkle generously with salt. Leave them there for 20 minutes to drain the bitter aubergine juices. Then place each slice on the tray covered with kitchen paper and pat the slices with kitchen paper from both sides trying to get the salty water off.

Brush the slices with olive oil. Cook on the grill, griddle pan or barbecue for 3 min on each side till they are golden. Arrange the slices on the plate.
Drizzle the dressing over the aubergine slices.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the parmesan cheese over the aubergine slices. Serve seasoned with pepper.
