Recipe

This dish is a little like a salad, but is best served as a dip. Scooped up with small wedges of pita bread or lavosh crackers, it is a healthy and low calorie appetizer. Place eggplant in a 9x13 inch baking pan, drizzle with oil, and cover pan tightly with foil. Bake in a 350ºF oven for 30 minutes, or until eggplant is soft. Finely chop eggplant and toss in a large bowl with the remaining ingredients. Cover bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings. Serves 8.
