Spinach Salad with Grilled Eggplant and Feta
Spinach Salad with Grilled Eggplant and Feta
The slightly sweet, almost flowery flavor of marjoram adds a delicate note to this Middle Eastern—inspired salad, though oregano is also fine. To be sure the eggplant is tender, slice into it before taking it off the grill—when properly done, it will be moist all the way through.
