3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Arrange your eggplant, red onion and pepper on the grill and cook, turning once until the eggplant is softened and the onions and peppers are slightly charred, about 6–8 minutes.
Once ready, remove your eggplant, red onion and pepper from the grill to a cutting board and let them cool slightly.
Once cool, roughly chop and add them to a serving bowl along with the cucumbers and tomatoes.
Add your dressing to the salad and toss to coat. Garnish your salad with fresh chopped parsley and serve right away or refrigerate until ready to serve — it will be good for at least 24 hours.
