What to Do With All That Mint? Easy Tabbouleh Salad Recipe

If you grow mint too - you are probably inundated with it each year and looking for new ways to use it.  I love growing mint - we grow several basic varieties - spearmint, peppermint, chocolate mint, and hope to add more in the upcoming years.

I am always looking for easy mint recipes - aside from using the leaves in iced tea and in chocolate smoothies (yum), here is a favorite salad of mine that uses mint, enjoy!
