Refreshing Eggplant Sandwich

It doesn't get easier than this, nor more delicious. It is light and refreshing. I love it with a cup of soup, whatever kind you like.
To make it even easier, I buy slices of breaded eggplant from a very good deli. Be sure they are sliced thin. If you'd rather fry your own (or bake them) I included a quick recipe at the bottom of the "directions"
