- Handful cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Heat bbq on high heat.
- Brush aubergine slices with oil and sprinkle with coriander, cayenne, cumin and salt. Grill for 10 min until tender.
- In a medium bowl mix the spicy pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1-2 tbsp oil, and a good pinch of salt until the vinaigrette is well combined.
- Add tomatoes to the bowl and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix yogurt and water. The yogurt not only adds a nice taste but will help cut the heat from the cayenne!
