Yellow tomato and eggplant caponata salad lasagna: A lasagna doesn’t have to be hot out of the oven. As with so many other pasta dishes, you can also serve it chilled and this is exactly what we did to showcase our salad lasagna.
We have recently made you some caponata from the eggplant being harvested at The Farm. There are a number of dishes you can do and this is just one of our ‘out-of-the-box’ ideas. Keep in mind that pasta is served as an appetizer dish in Italy and that our caponata is very rich, so you may want to keep your portions of on lasagna salad on the small side.
In our opinion, our lasagna salad is a very cheerful way to perk up a summer lunch or dinner. Drizzle it with some of our olive oil from Vallecorsa, Italy and you will be serving this often!
