Let me share one of my favorite side dishes that use eggplant as a main ingredient. Let’s all learn how to make ensaladang talong or eggplant salad. This Filipino food or side dish is best paired with grilled fish and meat.

Cooking instructions on how to make ensaladang talong:

- Next, peel the skin of the eggplant. Mash the eggplant a little bit in deep plate or large bowl,
- Then, add tomatoes, onion, vinegar, salt, pepper and chili into it. Mix the ingredients well.

It’s okay to burn eggplant’s skin while grilling, so don’t fret. You can use spicy vinegar and ditch the chili. You can eat this Filipino dish as side dish or as a main dish.
