This fresh, fruit and vegetable heavy salad offers a delicious mix of flavors and textures. It’s easy enough to make for a quick lunch or dinner as it is ready in less than 20 minutes. If you’re packing to take it on the go, store the dressing in a separate container and toss it all together just before you are ready to eat. Feel free to use leftover chicken (or any leftover protein you have in your fridge) or pick up a rotisserie chicken. To use any leftover mint, sprinkle it over any kind of fresh fruit for dessert, toss a little into a Greek salad, or use it to flavor iced tea or plain water.
