Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large eggplants, roasted
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
1/4 cup small, preferably Greek, capers, rinsed and drained
1 large, firm, ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and pat dry the eggplants. Roast them whole over an open flame on top of the stove or under the broiler, turning, until the skins are charred on all sides. (This may also be done on a grill.) Remove and let cool slightly.
  • 2. Have a large bowl with the olive oil ready. Cut the eggplants open lengthwise and remove as many of the seeds as possible. Scoop out the roasted eggplant pulp and place it in a bowl with the olive oil. Salt lightly. With a fork and knife, cut the eggplant so that it is chunky. Add the onion, garlic, capers, tomato, and parsley and mix with a fork to combine well. Add the vinegar and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and vinegar if desired.

This salad is delicious! The roasted eggplant is so tender and flavorful, and the capers and onions add a nice touch of acidity. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great summer dish. It's light and refreshing, and the roasted eggplant adds a unique flavor. I like to serve it with a glass of white wine.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook eggplant, and this recipe is a winner. The roasting process brings out the eggplant's natural sweetness and the capers and onions add a nice touch of acidity.

I made this salad for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I especially liked the contrast between the roasted eggplant and the fresh, crisp onions.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. My family loves the smoky flavor of the roasted eggplant and the tangy dressing.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasting process mellows out the eggplant's bitterness and the capers and onions add a nice touch of flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I also like to add some chopped roasted red peppers for extra color and flavor.

This roasted eggplant salad was a big hit at my last dinner party. The flavors are so well-balanced and the capers and onions add a nice touch of acidity and crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
