Chargrilled summer vegetable salad

Grilled veggie salads are really quick and easy, it's also cheaper to make your own than buy from the deli counter

Ingredients

  • 1 aubergine , thinly sliced lengthways
  • 1 large courgette , sliced diagonally
  • 1 red pepper , cut into thick strips
  • olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds , toasted
  • 100g feta cheese , crumbled
  • ½ small bunch parsley , roughly chopped

Method

  1. Heat a griddle pan to very hot. Toss all the veg with 2 tbsp olive oil and season really well. Cook on both sides until striped and softened. After cooking each batch, drop into a large bowl and cover with clingfilm - this will help it steam a bit and soften further. When done, arrange veg on plates or one platter. There should be some juices left in the bowl; whisk in another tbsp of olive oil, along with the red wine vinegar and spices. Season then spoon over the veg. Scatter over the feta and parsley to finish.
