[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Mediterranean Eggplant Relish - 4 pts plus; 10g Carbohydrate; 3g Dietary Fiber

To turn this into a salad, add a handful of chopped parsley, a handful of chopped cilantro, and a handful of chopped mint. I also added capers, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts out of the jars. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Terrific dinner salad.
