Char the eggplants and peel them, then combine with warm ingredients so the sauce does not split.
Coarsely chop the eggplant with a wooden knife and drain off its bitter juice.
Whisk the yogurt with garlic and salt, adding the watery ingredient later so it does not split.
Fold the main ingredients with the sauce for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces do not fall apart.
Do not mash the eggplant with a metal spoon; when the fibrous texture is preserved, the sauce looks cleaner.
Sprinkle the fresh herb at the last moment so the eggplant aroma is not overwhelmed.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the sauce is still glossy.
💡 Tip: Letting the eggplant cool completely before mixing it with yogurt reduces watering.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with olive oil drizzled over the top.
