The combination of eggplant and melon may sound unusual, but we promise you’re in for a treat. The sweet, crisp canteloupe melon is a perfect foil for the mellow, tender, roasted eggplant. Fresh mint, briny black olives, and balsamic vinegar deliver the bright, tart notes that make the flavors shine.
