ingredients

  • 1 aubergine, sliced
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sumac
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat up a grill pan, and drizzle a little bit of olive oil. Cut aubergine into about half-inch slices and grill a couple of minutes on each side. Set aside to cool down.

  • Step 2

    Prepare dressing: finely chop garlic (or use garlic press), crush it with pinch of salt, add lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper and sumac.

  • Step 3

    In a large bowl place a bunch of baby salad leaves, arrange slices of aubergine (you can chop them in smaller pieces), halves of cherry tomatoes and chickpeas. Crumble some feta cheese on top and drizzle with sumac dressing. Serve fresh.

  • Step 4

    You can store it in the fridge for up to two days, but it tastes the best when fresh.
