Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the eggplant slices for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are tender and have visible grill marks. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.
While the eggplant is grilling, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the parsley.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roughly chop the grilled eggplant slices into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the salad either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
