Grilled Eggplant and Mushroom Salad

Mmmmm, tasty deliciousness.

Tonight I was starving, but somehow managed to make a salad before chowing down. It was quite tasty, but could have used more flavoring on the grilled veggies. Any ideas? Can you marinade eggplant? It seemed to spongy to marinade.



INGREDIENTS:

Romaine lettuce
Grape tomatoes (halved)
Feta (buy the block, but slice and crumble on top, it makes a difference)
Grilled eggplant
Grilled mushroom caps
Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper

Slice eggplant about the width of your finger. Coat in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on panini press (it's brilliant, I know, you even get the great grill lines, and it cooks faster since it's coming from top and bottom). Grill mushroom same as eggplant. Make salad and top with tomatoes, feta, eggplant, and mushrooms.

POST DINNER NOTE: The mushrooms didn't fit. I think next time, no mushrooms but olives. The good ones.
