Ingredients Overview

I am fond of Apples and cucumbers and hence the choice was simple for me. One may choose any fruit or salad of choice like peach, carrots, zucchini, radish, lettuce, banana etc.

What I love most about this salad is the mint flavor mixed with lemon juice. I have tried several flavors but nothing can beat the freshness of mint leaves. I have added maple syrup and peanut butter for the smooth creamy texture. One can replace it with fresh garlic dips or hung curd dip.

One may also top this salad with dry fruits.
