Warm Salad v2

Last night's dinner: Peanut udon noodles (a variation on this almond soba recipe from Heidi Swanson), marinated "grilled" eggplant, and fresh corn. I say "grilled" because the eggplant was actually baked. Our small charcoal hibachi wasn't going to efficiently grill all 3 eggplanties I had on hand.

The eggplant was marinated in a garlic-basil balsamic dressing --- let's hear it for "the Rocket," the generic "Bullet." It is hands down the best appliance for making salad dressings. WAY better than a blender.

The result? A delicious dinner, with few noodles but lots of eggplant leftover. Hmmm.... can you say, "Warm salad lunch?" I can! It might not look pretty, but with a little leftover dressing from the marination and a quick turnaround in the microwave, this baby was just as delicious as last night... only with fewer noodle carbs.
