Sesame Eggplant (Aubergine) Salad image

This intriguing salad is a great addition to any Asian or oriental meal. The dressing is sooooooo gooood that I'm having all the flavors in my mouth right now. This dressing would be great over noodles! Heck the dressing is so good I have also used to it marinate other vegetables.

This salad is delicious, but it's a bit too oily for my taste. Can I reduce the amount of olive oil?

I didn't have any pomegranate seeds. Can I use something else?

This salad is too spicy for me. Can I reduce the amount of chili flakes?
