Eggplant & Chickpea Salad With a Parmesan Dressing

Another day, another fresh & summery salad. I present you with my Eggplant & Chickpea Salad With a Parmesan Dressing. I feel like eggplant is a vegetable people forget exists, when in reality it can be a great source of dietary fiber, manganese, and vitamin K - three nutrients that most Americans don't get enough of in their diet! So, I made this perfect vegetarian recipe for you to make yourself under 30 minutes! All you need is eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, olives, arugula, and parmesan. Because you can live your best life and eat cheese. Once you make this incredibly flavorful salad, you'll never look at eggplant the same again! Let's get to it.
