You may at first think that the flavor combination of pear and smoky eggplant is an odd one. But just dip a slice of a sweet, juicy pear into the Smoky Roasted Eggplant Dip, and your taste buds will thank you. Before you eat it all, serve it up on some toasted whole grain bread for a wondrous lunch. I’m always on the lookout for great sandwich ideas, and this one is a keeper.
