Chicken, Roast Potato And Eggplant Salad
Im an avid salad lover but with the days getting cooler (atleast for us down in the southern hemishpere), salads aren’t always as tempting as they are in the summer months. However, last night I made a chicken, roast potato an eggplant salad last night which is perfect for any season, as it can be served warm or cold. See the recipe below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
