Eggplant can be found in several varieties.  Try each to find the one that suits you best.
Save a few calories by replacing the regular salad dressing with one of the low-fat or reduced calorie versions.

Try Romano cheese in place of the parmesan for a subtle taste change.

If you like a little kick in your dishes, add 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes.
