EGGPLANT, SALAD, Spicy Eggplant Salad with Sesame Oil
cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017547-spicy-eggplant-salad-...

This Chinese-inspired salad has complex flavors and is quite refreshing. At the market, choose eggplants that are firm and shiny; they will taste sweeter and have fewer seeds. Make it several hours ahead or up to a day in advance. It's best served at room temperature or cool.

Featured in: Honoring The International, Adaptable Eggplant.
