After making my mint pesto the other day for a salmon dish, I had big ideas about using it as a salad dressing so here it is! Is it as yummy as I hoped? Heck ya! The minty acidic dressing seems to just compliment the heavier ingredients so nicely, as do the cucumbers and the cherry tomatoes. But this is still one filling salad - loaded with fiber, protein, and tons of good fats. ENJOY :)
