This recipe can be multiplied by 2, 3, 4.
The dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days. Other ingredients can be prepared the night before.
| 8 ounces | Japanese eggplant |
| spray olive oil | |
| 1 ounce | feta cheese |
| 1 Tbsp | extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 Tbsp | flat leaf parsley |
| 1/2 tsp | dried oregano |
| 3 Tbsp | 2% milk |
| 1 medium | cucumber |
| 1/4 | yellow bell pepper |
| 4 cups | romaine lettuce |
| 12 | black olives (not oil cured) |
| 2 small | whole wheat pita bread rounds |
Place a large non-stick skillet in the oven and preheat to 325°F.
After the oven is hot spray the pan with olive oil and add the eggplant cubes. Spray lightly with olive oil and return to the oven. Cook for about twenty minutes. Check the eggplant about every five minutes tossing to coat with the oil. Spray lightly with more oil if needed. Remove and let cool.
Place the feta cheese, oil, parsley, oregano and milk in a blender and puree until smooth. Place the dressing in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the vegetables.
After the lettuce is chopped, divide it between two plates and sprinkle the olives and roasted eggplant over the salad. Top with the cucumbers and peppers. Divide the dressing equally between the two salads and serve.

"To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar."
-Oscar Wilde, Writer
The refrigerator light goes on...
Tomatoes are usually a part of a Greek Salad and I have left them out. If you have reflux you might be able to tolerate a quarter of a small tomato on this salad. Start low and go slow. Possible GERD Triggers: Olives, peppers, cucumbers.
