Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a mixing bowl, toss diced eggplant and cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them on the prepared baking tray.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- While the vegetables roast, in a separate bowl, combine the shredded turkey, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining tablespoon of curry powder, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a large serving bowl, place the mixed salad greens at the base. Layer the roasted eggplant and cauliflower, followed by the seasoned turkey.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zest. Enjoy your colorful and flavorful salad!
