"To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomat - the problem is entirely
the same in both cases. To know how much oil to mix in with one's vinegar."

Gigi’s Roasted Vegetable Salad

1 large eggplant (about 8 inches long)
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
2 firm tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Chopped fresh rosemary to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the eggplant 4 or 5 times with the tines of a fork. On an ungreased baking sheet bake the peppers 35 minutes and the eggplant 40 to 50 minutes, turning the vegetables every 10 minutes or so. About 25 minutes into the baking time, add the tomatoes and roast for about 10 minutes. The eggplant and peppers are done when they are tender and look somewhat collapsed. While they are still hot, place the peppers in a brown paper bag or wrap them in a kitchen towel.
Scoop the eggplant pulp from the skin. Though it will be mushy, chop any long strands of pulp. The pepper skins should rub off easily after about 10 minutes of steaming in the bag or towel. Chop the roasted peppers into
1/2-inch by 1/2-inch pieces.  Peel the tomatoes if desired and cut them in
half to remove the seeds and juice. Chop the tomato pulp into pieces roughly 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
Mix the roasted vegetables with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion,
herbs, salt and pepper. This salad is delicious served with hummus and pita bread. On its own, it can be served as an appetizer, dip, or sandwich filling
for pita bread.

And what the heck, while we're at it...
