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!)

    Noooooo! Lauren, it doesn’t sound ‘random’ at all! I love that you wrapped it in a tortilla w/a scrambled egg…I mean totally #boho and totally #ingenious! I wish you’d take a pix of it… in fact, I will…I’ll do that!! I adore you for so many reasons…but, I think one of the things that endears me to you, well, besides being just an amazingly talented foodie and one that I deeply admire and respect, is that you have three weetle boys, like me! So, I know kinda what your life is like! xoxo Thank you for this beautiful post and for sharing the luv! Hugs!! ~ally

    Lauren, thank you sooooo much for your review! I knew there was a reason I bought a mint plant (un-green-thumb though I may be. lol!) It’s thriving and I’m looking forward to making this salad — and trying your boho’d variations. Thanks again!

    one of the gals in my book club has been making this salad for our monthly meetings for years. The first time I heard of the odd combination of grapes/tomatoes and mint, I was skeptical. After tasting it, I was hooked! It really works and it’s so good!

    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?)
