Grilled Eggplant

This fresh dish uses grilling to bring out the best flavor and texture in eggplants. Topped with a simple tomato salad, this is a light summer side that will be welcome at any picnic table.

Ingredients

  • Tomato Topping:

    • 3 cups diced tomatoes
    • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
    • ½ cup sliced fresh basil
    • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
    • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

    Grilled Eggplant:

    • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into ½" rounds
    • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
    • ¼ tsp. salt
    • ¼ tsp. pepper
    • ½ lb. low-fat mozzarella cheese, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Toss all topping ingredients together.
  3. Brush eggplant generously with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Grill eggplant slices, covered, until eggplant is well-browned on one side (3-4 minutes).
