Delicious and deeply flavoured Mediterranean eggplant salad made with mixing baked or grilled eggplant, tomatoes, spring onion and drizzled with a flavourful salad dressing of garlic, vinegar, olive oil with a hint of salt and pepper. This Mediterranean eggplant salad pairs so well with any grilled or baked chicken or meat.

How to Make The Mediterranean 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.
