The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Eggplant and Tomato Salad

- #66693
Eggplant lands solidly in the "underrated and underused ingredient" category. This salad brings some serious Mediterranean flavor with lemon, parsley and plenty of olive oil. Makes a light lunch or a great shareable snack with pita chips.

I didn't go through the whole presenation process with the egg ring, I just put the eggplant mixture down first then topped it with the tomato salad. I used one less lemon in the eggplant part. Just seemed like it would be a lot of lemon overall in both the eggplant and topping. Very excellent salad and I will be making it again.
