Warm "Fantasy" Salad

A healthy salad for anyone who cares about their own well-being and their family's! There are more than 3,000 different diets out there, but the golden rule of healthy weight loss is simple: as many vegetables in your diet as possible. Salads made from raw vegetables lose their flavor fast, but warm versions can be made ahead and packed for work as a side for poultry, fish, or grains.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

Step 1:

Heat a skillet with a little cold-pressed olive oil. Slice the white part of the leek into half-moons. Leek isn't really meant to be eaten raw, but cooked it takes on a soft, pleasantly sweet flavor.
Step 2:

Once the leek turns fragrant and soft, add the carrot cut into strips, cover, and let them cook together for a few minutes.
Step 3:

Eggplant — the key ingredient in this quick, delicious salad — is, botanically speaking, a berry (a very big one!). Cut it into rough cubes, skin and all.
Step 4:

Combine all the vegetables, stir, cover, set over low heat, and forget about them for 30 minutes.
Step 5:

When everything's ready, dress up the salad with parsley — it pairs beautifully with warm vegetables. (Fun fact: in ancient Rome, parsley was thought to make a person braver, so it was given to gladiators before a fight.)
Step 6:

All that's left is to add a little salt, pepper, and the parsley. A bit of vitamin C and a will to win won't hurt either! Before serving, you can sprinkle the salad with a mix of seeds. Healthy food can be really delicious — enjoy, and here's to your good health.

Food should be healthy and delicious — and varied and beautiful, too! You can happily make this salad both as part of your everyday menu and for a holiday table. Try it, experiment, and let your imagination run wild. Here's to your health!
