"For a good transition from summer to autumn, I almost immediately think of lukewarm salads. Eggplants as the star of the show also makes perfect sense because I think they still pack that good summer warmth. The mood is enhanced with the mildly spicy marinade for the eggplants that are baked into a crispy, soft, “sun-kissed” state. And of course, we’ll still manage a contrast with the fresh, tangy kicks to hold on tight to the summer with pickled red onions, feta, mint, and a lot of lemon. My favorite touch to any dish right now is jarred artichokes in oil, so I can not recommend it more on this salad. Make sure in one spoon you get everything so we can imagine together that summer is not over!"
