This salad is best made before serving and keeps well in the fridge. It’s a good one if you grow the smaller variety of eggplant.

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
50g pinenuts, toasted

1/2 cup mint leaves
1 cup coriander eaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin

juice of 1/2 lemon
1 T sherry, red wine vinegar or verjuice
