Very fun and delicious! I included both optional ingredients, using mint from the garden and homemade almond granola. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7

I enjoyed making this salad to use up some of my fruit. I used pineapple and a little cherry yogurt I had already open, so skipped the honey. Yum! Thanks Deb! Made for ZWT#7 by a Food.Commando.
