    Greek Eggplant Salsa is a Healthy and Unique Twist on the Classic

    Greek Eggplant Salsa is a unique twist on traditional tomato based salsa made with eggplants and Greek herbs.

    Looking for a unique salsa to serve at your next fiesta? Or maybe a new way to prepare eggplant? Try this amazing Greek Eggplant Salsa for a deliciously healthy fusion of Greek and Mexican flavors.

    In my Well Filled Tortilla Cookbook I found this recipe forΒ Greek Salsa. This is the first recipe I have made from the book that isn't a tortilla. YUM! I am going to have to try more.

    The only substitution I made was my skinny eggplants for a big globe eggplant. Mine cooked in about 15 minutes as opposed to 40 minutes for a big one. Greek Salsa, traditionally a Mexican dish, made with Italian eggplants - multiculturalism at its best.

    So, if you happen to have an abundance of eggplant, or want to try something different from traditional tomato salsa, give this one a try.

    • Let cool 10 minutes. Slit open and scoop out the pulp. Coarsely chop the pulp and put in a medium bowl.
