OP , whenever I have a recipe that requires sugar in the dressing , I just substitute it with a packet of Stevia or similar sweetener and it does the job. But if you just don't like the taste of sweet, then this does not apply

More often than not, I just skip the sweetener completely; I've never had a problem with that.

Roasted eggplant and bell pepper salad: roast eggplant and bell pepper. Take off charred portion of eggplant, put in strainer with some salt and let sit to get rid of bitter part (not required). Peel bell pepper. Chop eggplant and bell pepper, Put in bowl. Add fresh or powdered garlic (optional), salt to taste (if didn't salt eggplant above), and olive oil.

Using a red bell pepper will make it a bit sweeter.
