A rocket-shaped salad, spicy and fresh, as a nod to the launch of the ‘AI Force’.
A spicy salad shaped like a standing rocket, built from grilled eggplant and zucchini with a sharp lime-chili dressing. The rocket refers to the ‘AI Force’ and the tension between acceleration and control. The tip is a half red bell pepper for extra heat.
Ingredients
- 2 eggplants
- 2 zucchinis
- 1 red bell pepper
- 100 g arugula
- 1 red onion
- 1 lime
- 1 red chili pepper
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- salt and pepper
Method
- Slice the eggplants and zucchinis lengthwise into 0.5 cm thick slices.
- Brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and grill on both sides until grill marks appear.
- Cut the red bell pepper in half and remove seeds. Reserve one half for the rocket tip, slice the rest into strips.
- Cut the red onion into thin rings.
- Make the dressing: mix the lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, finely chopped red chili, salt and pepper.
- Spread the arugula as a base on a platter.
- Arrange the grilled eggplant and zucchini slices in a long, upright rocket shape on the arugula, alternating for color.
- Place the half red bell pepper as the rocket tip at the top. Make 'wings' from pepper strips on the sides.
- Scatter the onion rings over the rocket and drizzle with the dressing.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large white platter so the rocket shape stands out.
- Add extra lime wedges for those who want more zing.
