Excellent colorful salad, went over extremely well at a last week's Raw Food Potluck! I was pleased with a bonus small fall crop of my Sorrel, so made this recipe as written, excepting I used some of my own dried mint instead of the fresh which couldn't be found at local Whole Foods Market. I've since made it again, using raw spinach to replace the sorrel which also was good and totally acceptable and also more available year around than sorrel. I did add a bit of cilantro to replace the lemony zing of the sorrel, and found it be be yummy. I suspect any green would work well, and will try some kale next time. Thanks for the recipe! Sandy
