This salad looks scrumptious, Catherine. I love the idea of baking eggplants instead of frying..so much healthier.

Eggplants are my favorite veggies!! I sometimes cook them on the grill with bell peppers, zucchini and simple salad dressing. This is one new worth to try!

My mouth is watering. I love egg plant, but my family doesn't so I don't make it very often. I've never seen an eggplant recipe like this before. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe on Merry Monday linky party. Pinned it.
