Your babaganoush sounds awesome, and from experience, I know that any pictures would merely be a brown rectangle.

I topped in on a thick yellow tomato slice and it was surprisingly a mellow color - I think adding in the red tomato & onion helped its color! It really was yummy (and I do not usually like eggplant).
