GRILLED EGGPLANT, GRAPE TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD WITH AMAZING BASIL, PARSLEY, AND CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.) Wash the eggplants if needed and cut off both ends. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, brush both sides with olive oil, and season the cut side with salt and pepper Lay eggplants on the grill cut side down, and cook until you see nice grill marks (about 5-7 minutes.) Turn eggplants and cook about 5 minutes more on the other side, or until eggplant is softened and nicely browned. Remove eggplant to a cutting board to cool. Make the amazing sauce while the eggplants cool. If needed, wash and spin dry the basil and parsley leaves. Slice the garlic cloves, then use a food processor fitted with a steel blade to chop the basil, parsley, and garlic. Add the Dijon, capers, and lemon juice and process until ingredients are well blended; then add the olive oil and process about 30 seconds more. Cut grape tomatoes in half. When eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it into slices about 1 inch thick. Gently combine the eggplant and tomato halves in a bowl and stir in enough sauce to coat the ingredients (about 1/4 cup). Stir in the crumbled Feta and serve salad warm or at room temperature. Even though tomatoes are best when they haven't been refrigerated, this was not bad after it had been the fridge overnight. It didn't last much longer than that though.
TOMATO BASIL AND FETA SALAD
Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, basil olive oil , vinegar, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to a great salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Choose fresh basil. Basil is the other star of this salad, so make sure you use fresh leaves. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want the flavors of the tomatoes and basil to shine through.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the tomatoes and basil will start to wilt.
Conclusion:
This tomato, basil, and feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salad tangy, sweet, or somewhere in between, this recipe is sure to please.
