Filipino Eggplant Salad: From Our Garden Harvest

Hello everyone! 🍓
‎
‎I’m so excited to share this recipe with you all today!
‎
‎Last Saturday, my hubby came home with a huge bag of eggplants and tomatoes.
‎
‎They looked so perfect and fresh, that I needed to do something delicious with them.
‎
‎We usually just fry our eggplants. It’s our way of cooking them, but this time I really wanted to try something different.
‎
‎So, I made a salad instead. And you know what? It turned out so good! 😋
‎
‎Ingredients:
‎

‎• 6 small eggplants
‎• 2 medium tomatoes
‎• 2 small red onions
‎• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
‎• 1 teaspoon sugar
‎
‎Let's cook!
‎

‎
‎First off, I washed the eggplants under running water. Then I peeled off the skin. I didn’t cut them. I left them whole like that, as it makes them easier to handle later on.
‎

‎Next step, I put them in a pot with just a little bit of water and let them boil. I cooked them until they were soft enough.
‎

‎And to know that, you need to poke them with a fork. That’s when I knew they were ready.
‎

‎Then I took them out and gently squeezed them with a fork to get rid of any extra water.
‎

‎
‎While the eggplants were cooling, I prepped the other ingredients too. I chopped up the tomatoes and onion into small pieces.
‎

‎Then I made the dressing in a small bowl. I mixed in the soy sauce and a tiny bit of sugar just to make the taste perfect. I stirred it all well until everything was mixed together nicely. You can adjust how much you put in too. It’s all up to what you like best!
‎

‎Once everything was ready, I put all the ingredients one by one... the tomatoes and onion. Then I poured the dressing over top.
‎
‎And that’s it! Your fresh Filipino eggplant salad is ready to serve! 🍽️
‎



‎
‎This is so refreshing! Perfect for hot days, and it’s healthy too. 😋
‎
‎Until my next post...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
