Macedonian Salad


Made this last night from the new moosewood cookbook. i really enjoyed it served with portobello mushroom burgers. i used chopped kalamata olives and crumbled greek feta as optional garnishes that really made the dish. i also used 1/2 tb fresh basil as i had some on hand. prep time does not include several hours marinating time. i did not peel my eggplant.

Steps


Preheat oven to 375f spread the eggplant cubes onto a lightly oiled baking tray , and roast in the oven about 15 minutes , or until tender enough so a fork can slide in easily.
Remove from oven.
Meanwhile , combine the olive oil , vinegar , garlic , salt , pepper , herbs , and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the still-warm eggplant and stir.
Cover , and let sit for at least 2 hours.
Add the remaining vegetables within an hour or two of serving.
Serve garnished with olives and yogurt or crumbled feta cheese.
