This was a relaxing weekend for us. We spent time with friends and family and today we get to relax and start the week ahead. We did not cook much at home, but definitely ate a lot of food. We wanted something light today and this recipe came in handy. Our nephew who does not like eggplant liked this salad a lot over toasted baguette, WINNING recipe
