Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch circles
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt

  • 1 summer squash, cut in half lengthwise

Steps to Make It

  1. Wash eggplant pieces and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes.

  3. Add eggplant, zucchini, and squash. Toss to coat all the pieces. Remove vegetables and add the onion. Toss to coat.

  4. Preheat grill.

  8. Cut eggplant into cubes and the other vegetables into thin slices.
