Miso Aubergine and Haloumi Salad

This is such a quick salad meal and really easy to prepare. I’m on a bit of a health watch and I’m trying to make food choices that will nourish and heal my body. Eating the rainbow of colourful vegetables is a great starting point. Great oils like olive oil,macadamia nut oil or avocado oil are excellent flavour carries and are healthy for my brain and body. They give a satisfying feeling of satedness and stop me feeling hungry later when I decide I need more snacks.
