Eggplant Salad Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Eggplant

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Brush both sides with a little EVOO and sprinkle with salt.

2. 2

   Char Grill the Eggplant

   Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. 3

   Chop the Vegetables

   While the eggplant is cooling, chop the red onion, bell pepper, parsley, and mint.

4. 4

   Mix the Salad

   Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, chop it into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggplant, red onion, bell pepper, parsley, and mint.

5. 5

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle the remaining EVOO over the salad, add black pepper to taste, and toss everything together until well combined.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy it fresh or chilled.
