Easy Minty Green Salad!! We noticed that people love our salads and desserts the most so since we did a delicious chocolate mousse recipe yesterday we decided to do a fresh and healthy salad today! A lot of people come up to me and say “What is the point of eating salads? Aren’t they just veggies chopped and mixed together?” No! They definitely aren’t. Salads are fresh and “timeless” recipes and are absolutely mouth watering and toothsome. Today I am going to make one of my favourite salads: Minty Green Salad. This salad’s primary flavours are mint and lime.
