    Good. Good change from my regular salads. I didn't realize how much I like eggplant. The only thing I would change is lowering or taking out the mint.... too overpowering! It's been 2 hours since I ate it and I still have that mint taste in my mouth! Overall though, great salad!

    Simply delicious!!! My husband doesn't usually like eggplant, but he loved this recipe. The creamy goat cheese was complemented perfectly by the texture of the toasted pine nuts. I served it with tandoori chicken and jasmine rice. Yumm. Even my teenage daughters were raving.

    Incredible flavor, I did mix it up a bit. Use 2-3" Japanese Eggplant grilled on BBQ. Layered grilled red onions, eggplant, fresh roasted peppers and grapes tomato cut in half. Used Tuscan herb EVOO and really good balsamic with herb goat cheese. I make my own roasted red pepper 12 #'s @ a time and freeze them. This time they were just made. The flavors are let just say blow your mind good.

    This was absolutely delicious. It combined all of my boyfriend and I's favorite things; basil, pine nuts, and goat cheese. Could not find the Japanese egggplants so used a regular one. Coated in olive oil and some salt and pepper and let it set for a half hour then grilled it on the George foreman grill set at 325 for about 3 minutes. The store was out of mint but it was still stunning! Will make over and over! Thank you Giada!!!! I just love when amazing things come out of my kitchen!

    Oh my! I am NOT an eggplant person. My hubby decided to grow eggplant this year and we're trying different recipes. This one is to DIE FOR!! We didn't have goat cheese, so we used feta. The balsamic vinegar totally balanced out the feta and it was just delicious! I think I want to serve this with a favorite lamb dish! Thank you Giada!

    This is my favorite recipe. The ingredients go so well together and it is so easy to prepare! It looks and smells wonderful. I have been making it for two years now and it never gets old! I sometimes like to add grilled tomatoes as well. Adding mixed greens on top turns this dish into a meal. My husband loves this along a nice steak. Yummy!
