15 minutes
Warm vegetable salad with cashews is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the rich flavors of roasted eggplant, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. The delicate aroma of garlic and Provençal herbs adds a special depth to the taste, while cashews provide a nutty texture. Tender pieces of white bread soak up the juices, creating a harmony of softness and crunchiness. Corn adds a light sweetness to the salad, and a mayonnaise 'cap' completes the composition with creaminess. This dish is perfect for both cozy family dinners and elegant parties, offering a balance of healthy vegetables and rich textures.
