I made this for the weekend for a large crowd to eat with Yogi's Tasty Buns along with several other spreads. I love eggplant so I really loved this. I have made something similar in the past, but never with the dijon mustard. This really gave it a nice taste and it is on my diet. The only change I made was i used fried onion instead of fresh. My husband does not always love the flavor of fresh onion in a salad and i didn't want to leave it out so I just chopped and fried it first and then added it. It was great.Reply
