Ingredients

  • 1 Italian eggplant, cut into 1-inch thick slices
  • 1 large red onion, cut into rounds
  • Canola oil
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted and flesh chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped oregano leaves
  • Honey
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Parsley sprigs, for garnish

Directions

Brush the eggplant and red onions with canola oil and arrange on the grill. Cook the eggplant until soft and grill the onions until they have a slight char. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Once cool, roughly chop and add them to a serving bowl along with the avocado.

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, the Dijon, and oregano. Add honey and olive oil, to taste, and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Add the dressing to the eggplant mixture and toss. Garnish with lemon zest and parsley sprigs and serve.

    I roasted the eggplant slices in the oven, 450 degrees for 25 minutes. It was too long: the skins tasted bitter and the inside flesh too mushy. I went ahead and made the salad, but I didn't like the taste. I'm giving it 3 stars because maybe grilled it would be better, but I won't be making this again.

    Loved this salad! I didn't have the lemon or parsley and it still came out great. Personally I think fresh oregano is too strong so I used dried. Otherwise it was such a nice switch up and my husband who doesn't like eggplant actually scarfed this right up!

    I agree, this has to be one of the best. I am not a big eggplant fan but loved this. I roasted the cubed eggplant in the oven with very little oil so it did not get too mushy. Is one of my favorite side dishes or great lunch.
