Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle the eggplant slices with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the eggplant slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have clear grill marks. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
While the eggplant cools, halve the cherry tomatoes and cut the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled eggplant slices, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the salad with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
