Salad made from Oven-grilled Vegetables

This is super simple if you have a home (which we usually don't, note absence of blue office bowl) and some time (almost no preparation, just waiting time :).

Just pop some veggies: an eggplant (stab with fork for easier grilling), zucchini, and a red capsicum/pepper in the oven for some time, until nice and wrinkly but not too soft (say ... half an hour at 200 degrees C) Remove eggplant and capsicum skins. Chop into bitesize pieces.

Then, just throw in some rocket and parsley, olives and feta if desired, a chopped shallot, and lastly sprinkle with lemon juice, some decent olive oil and raw sea salt.
