Methods
To make the
marinade take 3 tbsps olive oil and garlic in a big bowl and mix well. Add aubergine, zucchini, tomato, green capsicum, red capsicum and yellow capsicum and mix everything well so that all the vegetables are well coated with the marinade.
Heat 2 tsps olive oil
in a non-stick grill pan, place the aubergine pieces in it and grill, flipping them, so that both sides are evenly grilled. Sprinkle salt and pepper powder, drain and put into a bowl.
Grill the rest of the
vegetables in the pan and grill. Take out the tomato first as they should not overcook and add to the aubergine pieces in the bowl.
Sprinkle salt and
pepper powder to the remaining vegetables in the grill pan and grill till done. Put them in the same bowl as aubergine and tomato.
To make the
dressing, take garlic, salt, pepper powder and balsamic vinegar in another bowl and whisk well. Add olive oil and whisk well.
Add sugar and
whisk. Add salt and whisk.
Pour the dressing
over the vegetables and mix evenly. Transfer into a salad bowl and refrigerate before serving.
