There are different ways to make eggplant salad, a very common summer salad in my country. This is a version called ‘agioritiki’ named from mount Athos (Agion Oros).

Colorful, zazzy coleslaw with a Caribbean slant. It’s tasty and so pretty! I served this with slow cooker Jamaican jerk pork and it was fantastic.
Asian Noodle Salad
This is a beautiful and flavorful salad with a fresh ginger dressing. The cap of the shiitake mushroom has a meaty flesh with a lot of flavor; reserve the tough stems for stocks. White or cremini mushrooms can be substituted. These are much less expensive, but not as flavorful.
