How to Make Eggplant Salad With Miso Ginger Dressing

  1. Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until emulsified.
  4. Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  5. Slice 1 large eggplant (about 1 pound) into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Grill or broil the eggplant slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and tender. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  7. In a large bowl, toss 5 cups of mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula) with enough dressing to lightly coat.
  8. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Top with the grilled eggplant slices and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Garnish with extra basil, if desired.
