Recipe Notes
This salad is best eaten the same day. If serving later, add salt and lemon juice just before serving. Instead of mint leaves, you can add basil leaves too or leave it out altogether.
I love to add some sliced red onions sometimes; gives a wonderful crunch and punch to any salad.
Instead of blueberries, feel free to use apple chunks, mango chunks, dried fruits like dates and cherries etc.
