Salad with Fried Eggplant, Bell Pepper, and Soy Sauce
Eggplant gives this salad a warm, substantial base, while tomatoes and bell pepper keep it juicy and fresh without starchy sides. Soy sauce, smoked paprika, and herbs build a vivid flavor, and olive oil helps make the vegetable plate more satisfying. It is a good warm vegetable salad, but because of the total amount of carrot, pepper, and tomatoes, it is better treated as a limited keto option.
Cut eggplant (300 g), bell pepper (250 g), and tomato (300 g) into strips. Shred carrot (100 g) into long thin matchsticks. Slice onion (70 g) into half-rings. Finely chop cilantro (10 g), parsley (10 g), and garlic (3 g).
Sprinkle the eggplant with part of the salt (3 g) and leave it for 15 minutes so it releases excess moisture. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Heat olive oil (30 g) and quickly fry the eggplant for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
Combine the eggplant, bell pepper, tomato, carrot, onion, cilantro, and parsley in a large bowl. Add soy sauce (20 g), smoked paprika (7 g), garlic (3 g), the remaining salt, and black pepper (1 g), toss gently, and serve either warm or chilled.
