Notes
- Use fresh herbs in this salad. Fresh basil (or other fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro) can be used in place of fresh mint.
- To add extra creaminess, include a diced avocado. Toss the avocado with extra lime juice before adding other ingredients to prevent it from browning. Add the avocado just before serving.
- For an added twist, lightly toast some pine nuts or toasted slivered almonds and sprinkle them on top of the salad for some crunch.
- For a little bit of extra tang, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. For a sweeter dressing, add 1 teaspoon of honey.
