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.

Chicory Salad with Grapefruit Filets

This is a nice bitter-sweet symphony, may not be for everyone:

chicory, chop
pink grapefruit, peel and also remove skins
(On the same taste spectrum, I was going to add pine nuts, but we did not have any. Also I had a feeling we may have overdosed on nuts lately)
we also added an orange to this one

shallot, very finely chopped
olive oil
white balsamico
orange marmalade
salt
black pepper
