Summer garden salad

This summer the kids are enjoying lots of time with friends. Anna has learned to make a yummy new salad from her girl friends. Yes, this salad does include fried foods. But, I figure that it  somewhat substitutes for an oily dressing....

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:
oil
salt
potatoes
eggplant
tomatoes
cucumbers
cabbage 

You can include more or less of what you like most. Pictured above is what we made: 3-4 small eggplants, a small chunk of cabbage (adds some crunchyness), 7 small potatoes, 2 big tomatoes, and 4 small cucumbers.  Next time, I would use more tomatoes and cucumbers or less potatoes..




Chop eggplant into small, narrow pieces.
 
Fry eggplant in oil until crispy.

 Chop cabbage into small pieces and cut up the cucumbers and tomatoes into small pieces.Also pictured above is the eggplant after frying. Remove from oil when done and set aside.


Chop potatoes and fry until crispy, like the eggplant.

Remove the potatoes from the oil and mix everything together, adding salt to taste.

 ENJOY!
