Today we're making a simple, flavor-packed eggplant and tomato salad, the kind of dish you can prep ahead and enjoy without any rush. We cook the eggplants right in the microwave and toss them with fresh tomatoes, black olives, and a touch of cumin, letting the resting time do its magic with the dressing.
