When I asked last Friday about what you wanted to see more of on Turquoise & Teale I loved hearing that y’all like the healthy recipes! I’ll keep ‘em coming. Truth be told I’ve already made this recipe three times in the past two weeks (too much?). It’s great to make on Sunday and then eat for lunch throughout the week. I also brought it with me to my cousin’s for our weekly Bachelorette viewing parties and it was a hit. Essentially I never tire of it. The fresh mint and parsley compliment each other so well and it only gets better as the dish refrigerates overnight. Be sure and use fresh herbs for this recipe. This would also make a great side dish to some grilled chicken or fish.
