1 large tomato (or 2 medium, or approximately 1 1/4 cups cherry tomatoes)
greens: approximately 1 cup (smushed, not packed) arugula, watercress, spinach, or fresh herbs (I used a mix of cilantro, parsley, and basil for the eggplant milanese)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch sugar
For the Eggplant (protein):
1 protein, plant-based or otherwise, in a quantity fitting for four people. Use your judgment based on what you choose to bread and fry up. I used two healthy eggplants for four people in this case.
1.5 cups seasoned breadcrumbs (store-bought or homemade)
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated parmesan or locatelli cheese (reserve 2 tablespoons for sprinkling on just-fried protein)
