A note from Jill
This Filipino-style eggplant salad is a great side dish to pair with any savory, bold-flavored entree, such as grilled/fried meat or fish. It's easy to throw together, while offering a refreshing and tangy bite that balances out richer flavors. PLUS it is one of the only ways my husband will actually eat some vegetables!
