Instructions
  1. Slice eggplant into 3/8th inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. Combine all salsa ingredients together, reserving the lemon juice to add just before serving. Remove goat cheese from refrigerator.
  3. Blot dry the eggplant after 30 minutes. Line a large sheet pan with foil and spray with olive oil. Brush both sides of eggplant with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with ground pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the pan. Broil in oven for approximately 5 minutes turning, once lightly marked. Turn over and broil other side for 5 more minutes. Eggplant should be tender.
  4. Arrange warm eggplant on a platter, sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Add chopped tomatoes and top with a generous amount of herb salsa.
