I made this salad to use up some leftover peppers and as an excuse to buy some beautiful eggplant but as it turned out and the grill recipes are just beginning I thought it was worth posting. I always feel a little guilty buying vegetables from Mexico because it is so far away but they were just too pretty to resist. Kinda like an expensive pair of shoes you know you shouldn’t but…
1 Eggplant, cut into 1/4 slices (salted and drained if you have the energy)
1 red pepper, cored and cut into large slices
1 yellow pepper, cored and cut into large slices
2T oilve oil
salt and pepper
1 cooked chorizo, sliced
2t balsamic
1t olive oil
1T minced fresh parsley
1. In a bowl toss eggplant, peppers, salt and pepper with olive oil.
2. If you have a grill pan place vegetables in one layer, otherwise gently place directly on an oiled grill. Grill on each side until cooked through and lightly charred.
3. Combine balsamic and olive oil with several pinches of salt and pepper. Add vegetables and toss with chorizo and parsley. Serve at room temp.

Roasted eggplant is sooo good! I used to hate eggplant and the last few months I’ve learned to love it. Funny how my tastes have changed over the years. This recipe looks great!
It looks terrific to me as it is definitely time for grilling around here in Southern CA!
This looks like a great salad. I love grilled eggplant AND chorizo. What a great combination!
Kat, it seems your camera’s working fine here.
I love eggplant as it takes on whatever flavah you give it…in this case Chorizo….yum!
I had roasted eggplant for the first time last week, I love it! I am definitely going to try this!
Roasted red peppers and eggplant are some of my favorites. Serving them with chorizo sounds tasty.
A Manolo Blahnik salad, Katerina.
It looks delicious.
Hi there
I have just stumbled upon your blog. I love the clean design and fantastic photos. I am a blogger myself and always thought that design was key and you have certainly captured that! There are so many food blogs out there these days and being different to all the others is key. I have just started http://www.ifoods.tv which is a website for chefs, foodies and food bloggers to hand out, share recipes, photos and videos. When i was blogging I always thought i should be getting more traffic as my blog was getting lost in the masses of stuff out there so my new site is aimed at giving food bloggers and chefs a bigger platform! Hope you enjoy it and keep up the good writing and design here! I have now bookmarked you so will be regular reader, Cheers!
Thank you for your comment Katerina, I replied here:
