This is most popular salad that I have served at any get together. All it requires is a bunch of veggies and fruits to be uniformly chopped, mixed together and allowed to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. Without the addition of salt it remains crunchy. The addition of mint to top it creates a fresh taste. Its so delicious on a hot summer day and goes perfect with any kind of meal. This is adapted from my sister Latha's recipe.

Vegetable Chopper
