    This made a delicious melitzanosalata. I have never made one using breadcrumbs before but it made for a very light rendition that worked beautifully with the aromatics and tomato. Loved this.

    The Real Melitzanosalata, Well, I’m sure there are lots of authentic versions of this wonderful dip But this is my family’s favorite I like it because, unlike the other recipes found on the web, this one uses soft, fresh breadcrumbs, just like Taramosalata This gives the dip a great texture and mouthfeel We often serve these side by side on an appetizer tray with pita chips and toasted baguette slices , This made a delicious melitzanosalata I have never made one using breadcrumbs before but it made for a very light rendition that worked beautifully with the aromatics and tomato Loved this , Well, I’m sure there are lots of authentic versions of this wonderful dip But this is my family’s favorite I like it because, unlike the other recipes found on the web, this one uses soft, fresh breadcrumbs, just like Taramosalata This gives the dip a great texture and mouthfeel We often serve these side by side on an appetizer tray with pita chips and toasted baguette slices
