Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, (about 1 pound each)

1/4 cup olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 medium cucumber, seeded, coarsely grated, and squeezed of excess moisture

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Heat grill to medium-high. Halve eggplants lengthwise; slice off enough from skin side so halves lay flat. Brush both sides of eggplant halves with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Grill until tender, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cucumber, yogurt, parsley, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with grilled eggplant and lemon wedges, if desired.
