The fresh mint flavor makes this salad special.  The fragrance of mint always brings me back to my childhood in the Chicago area.  Our next door neighbors, Shirley and Ronnie, had a garden.  One day Shirley took me to see her garden and showed me the mint she was growing.  She even let me pick some leaves!  Whenever I think of mint, I think of that sweet memory.  I hope you will try this delicious salad.  You could even add some blueberries to it for a family July 4th celebration!  Enjoy!
