Tips:
- Choose a firm eggplant that feels heavy for its size to ensure freshness.
- Soak the eggplant slices in salted water for about 30 minutes before grilling to reduce bitterness.
- Use a grill pan if you don’t have an outdoor grill for similar results.
- Let the eggplant slices sit after grilling to absorb the dressing better.
- Sprinkle the feta cheese just before serving to keep its texture intact.
