I've never actually had eggplant! I've been meaning to try it and actually bought one awhile ago, but it went bad before I had the chance to cook something up. I will definitely keep this recipe in mind!

I've never tried eggplant before, but that salad looks absolutely delicious. I think the mint would be a really nice addition to it too.
