I made a half recipe of this and we loved it thanks Mandy. I added in a clove of garlic and seasoned it well with salt and pepper. It was a really simple salad, made with ingredients we always have on hand, it was really refreshing and I think the dressing would go well over a pumpkin or sweet potato salad too. Thanks for posting.

Unique flavor. The mint really made a difference, I sampled a bite before adding the mint and it was quite bland. Made for holiday tag.
