"Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, tender roasted eggplant is the perfect vehicle for a healthy dip. Based on the traditional Mediterranean baba ghanoush, but with the addition of chopped fresh herbs and San-J Organic Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium for a dip with less sodium than you might expect. For a chunkier, more rustic spread, mash the eggplant with a fork instead of using a food processor."
