This quick and refreshing eggplant salad is light, tasty, and ready in minutes. Seasoned with umami-rich Japanese flavors, perfect for hot summer days!
Prepare the Eggplant: Cut the eggplant into small bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Let it sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Toss the Salad: After 5 minutes, gently squeeze the eggplant to remove the released water. Then combine the eggplant with dashi powder, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: You can replace rice vinegar with a mild vinegar or a splash of lemon juice.
