Tips:

  • To choose the best eggplants, look for ones that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid eggplants with blemishes or bruises.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of salting the eggplant slices. However, salting the eggplant will help to remove some of the bitterness.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggplant slices. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the eggplant slices in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the slices for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • This salad is best served warm or at room temperature. However, it can also be served cold.
  • To store the salad, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
