Description
This simple salad combined grilled or baked eggplant, canned chickpeas, and feta cheese to make a delicious salad for a lunch or dinner side. This salad also doesn't have any lettuce if you're into that, and uses a homemade salad dressing. You can also check out any of my other salad recipes or salad dressings.
