Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces small round white eggplants, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, peeled, thinly sliced
2 ounces French feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted, quartered lengthwise
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt on both sides. Place in a colander over a bowl, and let stand 1 hour to drain. Discard liquid, and rinse under cold running water. Place eggplant slices on several layers of paper towels; press out water.
  • Transfer eggplant to a nonreactive surface. Generously brush both sides with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add slices of eggplant (without crowding); cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat process with remaining slices.
  • Place the eggplant, onion, feta, olives, and oregano in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Gently toss mixture to combine, and serve warm or at room temperature.

This salad was a disappointment. The eggplant was tough and the dressing was too vinegary.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have used too much eggplant.

The salad was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more herbs and spices next time.

This salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this salad changed my mind! The eggplant was roasted to perfection and had a lovely smoky flavor. The tomatoes and herbs added a nice freshness to the dish.
