Asian Eggplant Salad
Pane-Bistecca
his is an Asian eggplant salad that is best eaten warm. It is very good as an appetizer or side dish. The salad is vegan and gluten free and very light. The dressing is very tasty, but can be enriched with other ingredients. Those who know me know that everything that has to do with eggplant ends up on my table! I just like this vegetable very much!
This salad is a highlight at every BBQ!
