Ingredients
  

  • 400 g cooked turkey breast, shredded

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

  • 50 g roasted nuts (almonds or cashews) optional
  • 100 g cherry tomatoes, halved optional

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Chef's knife
  • Baking paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  4. 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.
  5. Once the vegetables are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. In a large serving bowl, place the mixed salad greens at the base. Layer the roasted eggplant and cauliflower, followed by the seasoned turkey.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zest. Enjoy your colorful and flavorful salad!
