A salad of fried eggplants, eggs and pickled onions is a great dish that can be served as an independent snack or as an addition to any dish. For example, it will be a wonderful side dish for a meat steak or chop, boiled potatoes or fried fish. The treat is very interesting, with an unusual taste and method of preparation. If you are tired of fried eggplants with garlic, baked in the oven, pickled and other dishes with them, then this recipe diversifies your daily menu. The recipe is very variable, because the amount of products can be changed to taste. If you want, add more onions or, on the contrary, boiled eggs. And if desired, the dish can be supplemented with fresh tomatoes. They work well with all the ingredients in the recipe. Serve the salad cool. Therefore, take into account the time before serving it, because fried eggplants and boiled eggs need time to cool.

I note, despite the fact that the snack is based on a low-calorie vegetable, the salad is quite high-calorie due to boiled eggs and fried eggplants in vegetable oil, which absorb it in large quantities during frying. If you want to reduce the calorie content, then bake the eggplants in the oven, where very little oil is required, just to grease the baking sheet.

To remove it, sprinkle the eggplant with salt and leave for half an hour. Droplets form on the surface of the fruit, with which the bitterness came out. Then rinse the fruits and dry with a paper towel.
