To prepare such a delicious eggplant salad for the winter, stock up on convenient canning jars with good lids. From my own experience, I can say that liter jars are well suited for salads; it can be just enough to feed a family with lunch once, or at most twice. Although, considering how delicious the salad is, they may eat it in one go and ask for more. The salad is also very elegant and will be a great addition to the holiday table.
To prepare the salad you will need:
- fresh eggplants - 1.4 kg,
- tomatoes - 1.4 kg,
- sweet pepper - 0.7 kg,
- fresh cucumbers - 0.7 kg,
- onions - 0.3 kg,
- granulated sugar - 4 tablespoons,
- salt - 1 tablespoon,
- vegetable oil - 200 ml,
- vinegar 9% - 5 tablespoons.
The indicated volumes of vegetables will yield approximately 3 liters of salad; calculate the required number of jars for this.
Preparation:
1. Prepare vegetables for eggplant salad. Wash them thoroughly. Cut off the tails of eggplants and cut off the ends on both sides of cucumbers. Cut the sweet pepper and remove the seeds. Peel the onion. The tomatoes will be used to prepare the juice in which the salad will be stewed.
2. Prepare jars for canning. For eggplant salad for the winter, liter jars are more suitable. They need to be sterilized, which can be done in any way you are familiar with: using a special lid for a pan, in the oven or in the microwave. Don’t forget to also sterilize the lids; just boil them in a pan of water for a few minutes.
3. The next step is to rid the eggplants of unpleasant bitterness. To do this, cut them into pieces, for example large quarters, salt well, stir and leave to stand for 15 minutes. The salt will release eggplant juice and turn a little brown. Then, rinse them with cold water to remove the salt. You can squeeze it a little, as eggplants absorb a lot of liquid. After this procedure there will be no bitterness left.
4. Cut the cucumbers and peppers into pieces approximately the same size as the eggplants. This way the eggplant salad will look more attractive and neat when finished.
5. Prepare juice from the tomatoes. You can use a juicer, or you can do it manually. To do this, pour boiling water over the tomatoes and remove the skin, and then grate them or pass them through a meat grinder. A blender is also suitable, as it can chop everything wonderfully. Place the prepared tomato mass in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
6. Thinly slice the onion into half rings or quarters.
7. When the tomato sauce boils, add the onion and simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add cucumbers, peppers and eggplants and stir well. Do not add water, as all vegetables will eventually give a lot of juice and additional liquid will not be needed.
8. Let the vegetable mixture boil, and then simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. Don’t forget to stir the vegetables often so that they cook evenly.
9. Add salt, sugar and vinegar according to the recipe to the pan where our future eggplant salad is cooked, stir and cook for another 5 minutes over low heat. Now is the time to taste whether there is enough salt and sugar in the salad, since later it will be impossible to do this.
10. And now, while the eggplant salad is hot, put it in jars. Try to fill each jar to the top. If you don't get a full jar at the end, it's better to have a salad for dinner, because for reliable preservation it is better to seal half-empty jars.
Place the sealed jars on the lid and wrap them in a thick towel or blanket and leave to cool until they reach room temperature. After this, you can put it away for storage until winter. Open the eggplant salad no earlier than after 2-3 months.
This eggplant salad for the winter is very tasty; the vegetables are perfectly pickled thanks to the vinegar and will be very aromatic. Be sure to try it!
Unusual salad with fresh tomatoes and fried eggplants
Ingredients
For two servings of the dish you will need:
- eggplants - 200 g;
- tomatoes - 250 g;
- onions - 100 g;
- vinegar (wine or apple) - 2 tbsp. l.;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- garlic - 2-3 cloves;
- sugar - 1 tbsp. l.;
- salt, pepper, herbs - to taste.
Preparation
To minimize the salad preparation time and have time to serve the dish warm and fresh, it is recommended to adhere to the following procedure:
- Before frying, eggplant must be freed from its characteristic bitterness. To do this, you need to peel it, cut it into cubes, strips or circles (if the vegetable is miniature) and sprinkle with salt in a separate bowl, mixing well. In this form it should lie for about 20 minutes. If you soak sliced eggplant in salted water for the same time, it will absorb less oil when frying, and the salad will not be so greasy.
- Thinly slice the onion and marinate it in vinegar along with salt and sugar until all the crystals dissolve. If desired, you can add chopped dill or other herbs here. If the onion has too strong a taste, before pickling, you need to soak it, chopped, in plain water for 10 minutes, and then drain the liquid, which will remove the bitterness.
- Cut the tomatoes into medium pieces, chop the garlic with a knife.
- Rinse the eggplant under water to remove salt, place the mixture on a towel and dry.
- Fry the vegetable in a preheated frying pan over medium heat until golden brown (this will take 5-7 minutes), then get rid of excess oil by draining the eggplant on a sieve or placing it on napkins.

Delicious original Greek eggplant salad - a recipe for the winter
Once I visited Greece, I realized that this country really loves vegetables. Everyone is familiar with the famous Greek salad of fresh vegetables, olives and cheese. And they love vegetables all together and each vegetable separately. This, I think, explains the main rule of Greek vegetable dishes - all vegetables must be cut into very large pieces.
I remember when we visited the restaurant, we expected that they would bring us a large plate with small slices of vegetables, as we were used to at home, but we were surprised with a large deep plate, where tomatoes were quartered, onions with thick feathers, cucumber rings and whole olives with pits, straight from the tree. It was surprisingly tasty, although unusual.
So Greek eggplant salad will be no exception. Here, too, the main rule is large pieces of vegetables and a lot of aromatic herbs. You won’t forget this salad, and your guests will beg you for the recipe.
We will be preparing our Greek eggplant salad for the winter, so prepare small jars for preservation in advance. Half-liter or liter will do. But no more. From the specified volume of vegetables you will get 1 liter (by volume) of salad, and this will depend on how juicy the vegetables were. The more juice there is in tomatoes or peppers, the more they boil down when stewing.
For Greek eggplant salad you will need:
- eggplants - 400-500 grams,
- tomatoes - 500 grams,
- sweet pepper - 250 grams,
- carrots - 250 grams,
- onions - 250 grams,
- garlic - 4 cloves,
- vegetable oil - 50 grams,
- vinegar 9% - 2 tablespoons,
- sugar - 1.5 tablespoons,
- salt - 0.5 tablespoon,
- dried basil - 0.5 teaspoon,
- dried herbs (green onions, parsley, dill) - 1 tablespoon,
- coriander beans - 0.5 teaspoon,
- mixture of peppercorns - 0.5 teaspoon,
- savory - 0.5 teaspoon,
- bay leaf - 2-3 leaves,
- red pepper - a pinch.
Preparing the salad:
1. Prepare vegetables for salad. The important rule for making this eggplant salad is to cook the vegetables in order, from longest to quickest. This is necessary so that the vegetables in the finished dish are equally soft and tasty.
2. Cut the eggplants into thick rings, 1-2 centimeters thick, and then cut each into 4 parts. You will get pieces of the desired size. If you have very large eggplants, then divide each ring into 9 parts (two cuts in one direction and two cuts perpendicular to the other).
3. Cut the tomatoes into pieces the same size as the eggplants.
4. Cut the carrots into thick rings or half rings, depending on their thickness.
5. The onion is also cut into thick quarters. Do not squeeze the garlic through a press, but also cut into rings.
6. Cut the sweet pepper lengthwise into wide strips and then into squares. To get the same size again.
7. Now we begin to prepare the vegetables. Take a large saucepan with a thick bottom, pour vegetable oil into it. Add salt, sugar and vinegar there. First of all, we will stew the carrots, since they are the toughest of all our vegetables. It will take about half an hour until the carrots become soft.
8. When the carrots soften, add onions, garlic and bell peppers. Simmer covered over medium heat for 15 minutes.
9. After fifteen minutes, add the eggplants. Mix well and simmer further under the lid. Again 15 minutes. During this time, all vegetables will soften almost until fully cooked.
10. After this, add all the aromatic spices and dried herbs from the list and mix everything well. Simmer again for 15 minutes.
11. In this form, simmer under the lid for another 15 minutes, but now on the lowest possible heat on your stove. The bare minimum. Vegetables should barely gurgle so as not to overcook.
12. For now, put our almost finished eggplant salad in Greek into jars that you have sterilized in advance. Why almost? It's simple, to fully develop the taste of such a salad it takes time; it must steep for at least several weeks.
According to all the rules of canning, the rolled up jars are turned over and wrapped in a warm towel. Let them cool like this.
This eggplant salad, of course, will be very tasty to try even freshly prepared. I think your family will definitely like it, but try to curb their appetites and let the salad ripen on a shelf in the closet until winter. Then you will know its real taste!

Good afternoon. We continue the topic of a variety of ways to prepare eggplants. Last time we fried them, and today we will make salads.
Eggplant is one of those vegetables that does not have its own strong taste, but can enhance the aroma of the products with which it is cooked.
This is why eggplant salad is so delicious. The little blue ones fit organically into any combination of products and preparing salads from them is a pleasure.
The main advantage of such dishes is that you can put together both a purely vegetarian vegetable salad and a hearty meat salad, which can easily replace lunch or dinner.

The top of the rings also needs to be greased with oil so that they do not dry out and remain juicy.
During this time they will brown and become soft.
2. While the main ingredient is baking, prepare the remaining vegetables. Cut the pepper into strips, tomatoes and onions into half rings. Finely chop the greens.
3. Combine all prepared ingredients in one bowl.
4. Prepare the sauce by mixing olive oil with wine vinegar, salt and sugar. To it we add garlic passed through a press.

Vegetable salad from zucchini (zucchini) for the holiday table
Another purely vegetable option with sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes and zucchini. Instead of zucchini, you can use zucchini. Unless, of course, you notice the difference between them. For me personally, it's almost the same thing. This salad looks chic and works well as individual salad servings.
Ingredients:
- Eggplant - 1 medium
- Zucchini - 1 small
- Cherry tomatoes - 6-8 pcs.
- Sweet pepper - 2 pcs.
- Balsamic vinegar 9% - 1 tbsp
- Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
- Olive oil - for frying
- Fresh basil - 3-4 leaves
- Garlic - 4-5 cloves
- Salt - to taste
Preparation:
1. This is a very interesting salad recipe in which all the ingredients need to be pre-fried. Roasting dries out and “shrinks” the vegetables, so you need to chop them coarsely.
If the zucchini is very ripe, then remove the peel from it.
Cut the eggplant and zucchini into large slices and fry over medium heat with olive oil for 3-4 minutes on each side. Then place them on a paper towel to remove excess fat and add some salt.
2. Cut the sweet peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, cut them into large pieces and fry them on both sides. For flavor, put a couple of cloves of garlic in the pan, which we then throw away and do not use in further cooking.
3. Lightly fry the tomatoes as well.
4. Prepare the dressing by mixing vinegar, soy sauce, 3-4 cloves of garlic, passed through a press and finely chopped basil leaves.
5. Place the prepared vegetables on a serving plate and pour the prepared dressing on top. Ready. No need to stir.

But this delicious eggplant salad is recommended for those who like spicy things to eat for the winter. This wonderful salad may remind you of adjika in some ways, but it is, of course, prepared from eggplant. And believe me, this deliciousness is simply a must try.
The main ingredients here are not exotic at all, the same eggplant, sweet peppers and tomatoes, but the cooking method is different. The eggplant here will be the only vegetable cooked in large pieces and will resemble that very sharp mother-in-law’s tongue.
