Pin Recipe Instructions
- Prepare the necessary ingredients for the buckwheat and eggplant salad. Any soft cheese can be used: feta, ricotta, suluguni, etc.
- Rinse the eggplant and cut it into slices. (If you have a bitter fruit, soak the slices in salted water in advance.) Place the slices on a preheated grill and fry for 2-3 minutes.
- As soon as characteristic patterns are formed on the eggplants, they can be removed on a plate.
- Rinse buckwheat and boil for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the green lettuce or spinach leaves, blot lightly with a paper towel, and place on a serving dish.
- Put boiled buckwheat on the leaves.
- Rinse the tomatoes and cut them into slices, put together with the fried eggplants on buckwheat.
- Spread the soft cheese evenly over the platter. Be sure to try it: if it is salty, then you do not need to salt the salad and vice versa. Add walnuts. In a small bowl, combine the compressed garlic cloves, peeled and washed, the balsamic vinegar, and the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the salad with the dressing, garnish with herbs and serve.
