This is a great summer side salad for grilled fish, chicken or steak. It has everything you would want: it's both a healthy starch and a vegetable side dish. Serve this topped with a simple grilled piece of salmon that has been chilled for the perfect hot weather meal.

Mince the Mint Leaves
To mince the mint it is easier if you stack the leaves flat.
Place the stacked leaves on the cutting board and slice into thin ribbons (this is often called "chiffonade").
Turn the cut mint 90° and then slice crosswise into a fine mince.
