Cajun French: la breme (la brem) – eggplant
Having one piece of grilled tuna we wanted to do something that would serve two. Along with the tuna we had grilled eggplant from another meal. Clean out the frig and make a worthy meal – that was the plan. The result was this salad and yes it is very worthy and we think healthy.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
