Warm baby potato salad with baby aubergines and eggs

Warm baby potato salad with baby aubergines and eggs

One of my daughters does not eat mayonnaise at all, so I am forever trying to make salads that do not contain mayonnaise. I think the main reason why she does not like fast food is the fact that it is always drenched in mayonnaise!

This salad is perfect for winter since it is served warm. It can be served as a side dish or as a vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients
  • 3 red onions
  • 250g baby aubergines
  • 45ml olive oil

  3. Slice the aubergines in half and place with the onions on the baking tray.
  4. Season the onions and aubergines with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and bake in the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes.
  5. In the mean time cook the baby potatoes until just cooked and keep warm. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Cook the eggs until done to your liking and refresh under cold water and shell the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.
  7. Heat the butter in a pan and add the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  8. Mix the olive oil and basil pesto together and drizzle over the baby potatoes. Mix carefully until the potatoes are covered

    She doesn’t like mayo? Whereas I could eat most of a jar LOL – so funny how tastes differ πŸ™‚ I do love finding salads that are not drenched in may though, for those rare occasions when I feel virtuous πŸ˜‰ Later this week I’ll be posting a coleslaw recipe with a creamy avo dressing containing minimal or no mayo πŸ™‚ Love the look of your salad and the addition of the baby aubergines!

      I am looking forward to the recipe! (The problem is she also does not eat avo!) It is very strange because my Husband oldest brother also did not eat mayo, when he was younger and he also does not like avo!
