Poke the eggplant with a paring knife or fork several times. Grill the eggplant on high heat, rotating occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft, approximately 15 minutes. Let it cool before moving to the next step.
Peel the eggplant and chop it finely. Combine it with diced tomato, onion, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, and feta cheese in a bowl; mix thoroughly. Chill for an hour, then add salt to taste before serving.
