Eggplant Boat Salad

IMG_2226

These were impromptu and random but something I’m definitely going to make again. Stacked on roasted eggplant were tomatoes, cauliflower rice, green olives, and lettuce leaves, which were drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper. The flavors went together really well and the boats were fun to eat.

The tomato’s juices and the balsamic vinegar are absorbed into the eggplant, giving it added flavor.
