Grilled Eggplant and Feta Cheese Salad (Bobby Flay) image

DH and I made this salad to accompany a grilled chicken souvlaki dish that we made for dinner. The salad was really tasty. It is from my Bobby Flay "Boy Meets Grill" cookbook.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can grill the eggplant and make the dressing ahead of time, then assemble the salad just before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!
