Ingredients

    • 2 medium sized eggplants, cut into 3/4 inch slices
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
    • 1 1/2 cups red or yellow cherry tomatoes, halved

    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
    • 3 cups arugula
    • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to broil. Place eggplant on a foil-lined broiler pan and brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil then drizzle lemon juice over slices. Broil eggplant for 8-10 minutes, turning once until tender and golden, then sprinkle wth cilantro.

2. In a medium sized skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, sugar, garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened but not mushy. Reduce heat to low.

3. Arrange eggplant on salad plates. Divide feta cheese and mound on each plate on top of eggplant. Divide tomatoes and place on top of feta cheese then top with arugula leaves.

    Sugar isn't poison. Replacing 1/4 tsp. of sugar (the amount for each serving for this recipe) with Splenda (which is made with sugar) will save 4 calories. It's one thing to be conscientious; it's another to be unduly stringent. - 7/20/08

    I have tried eggplant so many times because others rave but each time, I wish I would have passed on the recipe. I guess I just don't like eggplant no matter how it is prepared. - 10/1/10
