Awesome! Simple and very tasty. - 20 Feb 2012
This was a great snack while passing the time BBQ-ing with friends! Followed directions, but only snipped in a "little" mint, not the full amount. The mint really adds a little surprise to it! We had Sea Salt Bagel Crisps, spread some garlic and herb soft cheese on it, topped off with a cucumber/grape tomatoes sliced small/onions from the salad and really enjoyed it! Thanks - even better than Mom used to make! - 17 Jun 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I've been making this salad (without the mint) for years-the mint was a new twist to the recipe that we all enjoyed! - 09 Apr 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
