Easy Russian Eggplant Salad
(mydeliciousmeals.com)Alena TarasevichI love eggplant, it has a beautiful color and tastes great when prepared the right way. This eggplant and tomato salad has simple ingredients, but tastes so good. You can have this right out of the fridge with a piece of toast (if not on whole30). If you aren’t a big fan of eggplant recipes, this one should change your mind. As a bonus, it's paleo and Whole30 compliant.
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant (large)
- 2 tomatoes (large, I used beefsteak tomatoes)
- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced into half moons)

- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons oil (avocado oil or light olive oil)
- salt

2. Thinly slice onion into half moons, chop parsley.
