Ingredients:

Fresh arugula
Roasted red bell pepper
Spiced roasted eggplant (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder)
Pomegranate seeds
Crunchy walnuts
Crumbled feta
Extra virgin olive oil

For the vinaigrette:

Fresh lemon juice
Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation method:

Preheat your oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Wash the eggplant and cut it into cubes. In a bowl, toss the eggplant cubes with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and mix until well coated. Spread the seasoned eggplant cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and slightly golden, turning halfway through for even cooking. While the eggplant is roasting, wash the red bell pepper and place it on another baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and blistered. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. After cooling, carefully peel the skin off the roasted red bell pepper and cut it into small cubes, discarding the seeds. In a large bowl, combine the roasted eggplant, chopped red bell pepper, fresh arugula, pomegranate seeds, walnuts, and crumbled feta. Finally, drizzle with the prepared vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant salad.
