Roasted Aubergine and Tahini Salad
Roasting softens the aubergine and develops a deeper savoury flavour, while lemon loosens the tahini and balances its richness. Lightly mashing rather than puréeing leaves a more interesting texture in the finished salad.

Chef tips
Let any excess liquid drain from the roasted aubergine before adding the dressing. Work in the tahini gradually: the aubergine absorbs it as it is mixed, so adding everything at once can make the salad heavier than intended.
