    How to Make Mediterranean Cold Eggplant Salad

    Preparing the eggplants: You can peel the eggplants or leave the skin on as you wish (i peeled it) then slice to a medium-sized thickness.

    Spray a baking sheet with oil then arrange the eggplant slices in the sheet.

    Spray oil in both sides of each slice.

    Baking the eggplants: Bake at 210C for 20 minutes or until they become golden brown.

    Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, mix spring onion, minced garlic, chopped tomato, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.

    Adding the sauce to the eggplants: Once you take the eggplant out of the oven, put it in a bowl then pour some of the sauce over them. Keep doing that until you finish all the eggplants.

    You must add the sauce to the eggplant while hot to absorb the sauce.

    Mix the eggplant well with the sauce (be careful the eggplant is so soft).

    Garnish: with chopped parsley.
