Editors Review
Have you ever tried to prepare traditional eggplant salad at home? Many versions of this salad are made throughout the Mediterranean. This one, slightly spicy, is North African. The grilled vegetables appearing in this salad have a sweet, smoky flavor that complements the lime juice. The exotic spices that flavor this salad are commonly used in the North African spice mixture. The cumin and pepper amplifies the taste of the grilled eggplant in this dish. This makes a great entree salad, side dish and may also be used as a sandwich filling.
