Nowadays I’m all about that veg. In recent months I’ve been trying to include a wide variety of vegetables into my diet. I’ve been reading about how helpful they can be as I age. It’s always best to eat seasonally but we live in the modern world where we can get food we enjoy all year round. Therefore I decided to cook this dish and I’m so pleased I did. It was easy to cook and very tasty. Plus it was delicious with the fish I ate with it. Of course I had to share this recipe with you.

Baked Aubergine and Courgette Salad was a very easy to prepare and cook. I ate this with a piece of fish and sweet potato chips. It could be eaten with chicken or steak too. Also rice or pasta makes great side to eat with this salad. You can cook this dish and store it in the fridge until you wan to eat it. It also make yummy leftovers too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
