    Treat yourself to a veggie-filled salad of sliced eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Eggplants are generally available in late summer through fall, so this would be an appropriate seasonal fall salad. And because this is full of veggies, bring this to a BBQ for everyone to enjoy, including non-meat eaters!

    Grilled Eggplant & Sun-Dried Tomato Salad

    Luckily, sun-dried tomatoes are available year-round. You can make your own by using a dehydrator, or you can buy them dry-packed or oil-packed. If you choose to buy oil-packed tomatoes, be sure to check the label to be sure they are packed in olive oil rather than canola or vegetable oil.

    Sun-dried tomatoes have a rich taste compared to their water-filled counterpart because the dehydration process concentrates the flavor. Because of the concentration, there are more nutrients in sun-dried tomatoes, like Vitamin C, potassium, and manganese.

    This salad would be a perfect side to a grilled dish or even a casserole. If the slices of grilled eggplants are too large, chop them down into bite-sized pieces.
