This eggplant and scallion salad recipe is the bomb dot com. I am a die-hard eggplant addict. I do not know what is it that I like about it, but if the eggplant is in any food that I am eating, it is a fiesta food for me. This particular recipe has a perfect balance of acidic, mildly spicy (because of the garlic and scallions), and rich in flavor.
