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.
