Hi Piper, beets and eggplant are something I've never tried together before- I'm intrigued!

From your recipe, I'm not sure how to handle the eggplant though. Is it peeled, diced ..and added to the salad? Or served grilled in halves? Is the type of eggplant important?

Thanks!

Hi, the important part is the flavour of roasted eggplant. You can roast it direct on a fire like a barbecue or on an iron skillet.. Then you peel them. You dice and add them to the salad.. Scooping the inside with a spoon is easier than peeling the burnt skins and is less messy... :)) enjoy
