Ditch a mayonnaise-laden potato salad for this fresh, minty number. Drizzle the versatile dressing over fresh fruit or grilled fish or veggies.

This was so good! It's a very versatile recipe. I subbed lemon for the lime zest and added celery instead of the red pepper since that what I had. All three of my kids loved it.

Absolutely delicious! I left out the cabbage, chopped the cucumber into small chunks instead of slices and used brown rice. Also added a tablespoon or two of roasted, salted pumpkin seeds before serving. You could easily add a can of rinsed, drained kidney beans or garbanzos to up the nutrition and fiber.
