Everything you want in a salad: fresh-tasting, easy, quick, and healthy. The ingredients blend very well together, I wouldn't leave out or substitute a thing. The mint and cumin give it a little something different. It doesn't taste like just another generic salad.
Some chunks of mozzarella cheese rounded this out quite nicely!
I added slivers of strong cheddar cheese. Delicious!
