The best and most delicious grilled vegetable salad of Armenian cuisine. This easy grilled vegetable salad (grilled salad) is an Armenian dish . It’s the perfect side dish for grilled meats and an ideal accompaniment. It’s also easy to make with roasted vegetables if the weather isn’t right for grilling.

Ingredients

• 6 medium tomatoes
• 5 Chinese eggplants
• 3 bell peppers

For the salad

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 handful cilantro, parsley, or basil, chopped
• salt
• 1 Tbsp olive oil, (optional)
  

Directions

• Grill the eggplants and bell peppers, turning occasionally and piercing the eggplants as needed to let steam escape, until all of the skin is blackened. The vegetables should be cooked through and tender.
• Place the hot grilled vegetables in a large plastic bag and twist it closed. Let them sit for a few minutes in the plastic bag to steam. This will help the skin peel off much more easily. Peel the eggplants and peppers (it helps to have a small bowl of cold water nearby to rinse off your fingers as necessary).
• Remove the stems from the eggplants and the stems and seeds from the peppers and chop everything into a ¼-to-½-inch dice. Transfer all the chopped grilled vegetables to a large bowl.
• To the bowl, add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Adjust seasoning as needed and then serve at room temperature or cold.
