    Hot summer days call for refreshing salads.  Enjoy this simple, healthy salad that has a bit of a twist!

    Refreshing Grape Mint Tomato Salad from Ally's Kitchen Cookbook

    One major perk of being a food blogger is that I get to meet some truly, amazing people.  I met my dear friend, Ally of What's for Dinner Ally's Kitchen a few years ago when I first started blogging.  Ally is smart, super creative, enthusiastic and an all around wonderful friend.  Ally is a world traveler and shares her fun twists on all types of recipes that are easy to follow and delicious!  She was very supportive when I wrote both of my cookbooks and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of hers, Ally's Kitchen, A Passport for Adventurous Palates!

    Once I started flipping through the cookbook and all of it's mouthwatering pictures, I came across this Refreshing Grape Mint Tomato Salad that completely caught my attention.  Why have I never thought of that combination?  It is amazing.  The sweetness of the grapes, the crunch of the purple onion and the fresh mint all come together beautifully.

    I let the salad sit in the refrigerator over night.  The first day I ate it with raw spinach and white beans.  The second day I wrapped it up in a tortilla with scrambled eggs (it might sound random but it was AWESOME!)

      Drooled when I saw this so I made this last night and instant success with the family. My new favorite salad! I absolutely love pairing of the sweetness of the grapes and the tanginess of the tomatoes. Two great tastes that taste great together! (where have I heard that before?)
