GRILLED EGGPLANT, GRAPE TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD WITH AMAZING BASIL, PARSLEY, AND CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.) Wash the eggplants if needed and cut off both ends. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, brush both sides with olive oil, and season the cut side with salt and pepper Lay eggplants on the grill cut side down, and cook until you see nice grill marks (about 5-7 minutes.) Turn eggplants and cook about 5 minutes more on the other side, or until eggplant is softened and nicely browned. Remove eggplant to a cutting board to cool. Make the amazing sauce while the eggplants cool. If needed, wash and spin dry the basil and parsley leaves. Slice the garlic cloves, then use a food processor fitted with a steel blade to chop the basil, parsley, and garlic. Add the Dijon, capers, and lemon juice and process until ingredients are well blended; then add the olive oil and process about 30 seconds more. Cut grape tomatoes in half. When eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it into slices about 1 inch thick. Gently combine the eggplant and tomato halves in a bowl and stir in enough sauce to coat the ingredients (about 1/4 cup). Stir in the crumbled Feta and serve salad warm or at room temperature. Even though tomatoes are best when they haven't been refrigerated, this was not bad after it had been the fridge overnight. It didn't last much longer than that though.
TOMATO BASIL AND FETA SALAD
Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, basil olive oil , vinegar, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil, so it's worth seeking out if you can find it.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the tomatoes, basil, and feta.
- Let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together and the tomatoes to release some of their juices.
Conclusion:
This tomato, basil, and feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give this salad a try!
