Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove diced
  • 2 medium eggplants peeled and cut into 1/2” dice
  • 1 pound grape tomatoes quartered {about 2 cups}
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
  • 3 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3-4 basil leaves sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled {more if you desire}
  • Crusty bread sliced {optional}

Instructions

  • In a large skilled heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add garlic, stirring and cook for 5 minutes. Do not let garlic brown, only soften.
  • Toss eggplant, tomatoes and salt into skillet with garlic. Cook stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. You want the eggplant to soften but not become mush.
  • Pour everything from the pan in to serving bowl and toss vinegar over top to combine. Cover and set aside to marinade for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  • Before serving toss in basil, and feta cheese.
  • Serve bread along side salad. Top salad on bread and eat crostini style, or use bread to absorb the grate juices.
