Aubergine(Eggplant) Salad

Grill the aubergine whole under the grill (oven) until the skin is black and starts to blister. Cool then peel the skin. Put the flesh in the bowl and mash with a fork.

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Pour over the salad, season to taste(salt& pepper) and toss to coat the salad evenly.
