Step 1

Prepare Eggplant: Slice the eggplant into thin rounds. Place the eggplant slices in a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Let them sit for 5-7 minutes to release bitterness. Drain excess liquid from the eggplant slices.

Step 2

Prepare Breadcrumbs: In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, dried garlic powder, and dried Provencal herbs. Coat each eggplant slice in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 3

Fry Eggplant: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or fryer. Fry the eggplant slices in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place the fried eggplant slices on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 4

Assemble Salad: Tear iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces and line a serving dish with them. Arrange quartered cherry tomatoes over the lettuce. Scatter diced mozzarella cheese and fried eggplant slices over the salad.

Step 5

Make Dressing: Grate the flesh of the large tomato into a bowl. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to the grated tomato. Mix well to make the dressing.
