Grilled Eggplant Salad Recipe

Ingredients

2 large eggplants
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped basil
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices and brush both sides with olive oil.
Grill the eggplant slices for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool.
Once the eggplant has cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over the eggplant and toss to combine.
Add the parsley and basil to the eggplant and mix well.
Top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled.

This grilled eggplant salad is a flavorful and healthy dish perfect for any occasion. The charred eggplant pairs perfectly with the tangy feta cheese and crunchy walnuts, while the fresh herbs add a burst of freshness. Serve it as a side dish or as a light lunch.
