Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels; arrange the eggplant slices on top of the paper towels and sprinkle with salt on both sides. Let sit for 20 minutes, or until you can see water beads on the surface of the eggplant slices.

Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides.
Lightly season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Grill the eggplant slices for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until grill marks form and eggplant is tender.
Remove from grill and transfer to a platter; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine remaining olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Taste the dressing for salt and pepper, and adjust.
Drizzle eggplant slices with the prepared garlic dressing.
Top with feta cheese, if desired.
