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

    August 13, 2013 Filed Under: Appetizers, Dips and Salsas

    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 for 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.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 Small eggplant (approximately ¾ pound)
    • ¼ Medium onion (finely chopped)
    • 1 or 2 clove garlic (finely chopped)
    • ½ serrano chili (stemmed, seeded and finely chopped)
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
    • ¼ teaspoon fresh mint (chopped)
    • ½ teaspoon fresh oregano (chopped)
    • 1 ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pierce eggplant with a sharp knife or fork, place on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 45-50 minutes until soft throughout. 
    • Let cool 10 minutes. Slit open and scoop out the pulp. Coarsely chop the pulp and put in a medium bowl.
    • Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended. Serve immediately or refrigerate and use within a week. I recommend letting it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
