Harissa Aubergine, Feta + Mint Salad

April 27, 2016 by thefoodie Leave a Comment

Harissa Aubergine, Feta + Mint Salad|thefoodiesway.co.uk I absolutely love Middle Eastern flavours and this harissa, aubergine, feta and mint salad is the perfect fix. The heat of the harissa against the chargrilled smokiness of the aubergine is divine. I love the tangy feta and fresh mint in this salad, and the little pops of sweetness from the pomegranate. I also think a few toasted pine nuts scattered over this would be fantastic.

I regularly make this salad, either as a quick lunch or even as main, served with toasted flatbreads and dip for a more substantial meal. I’ve even served mini versions as a delicious starter!
