Russell's Wednesday Dinner
Nutritious and Delicious!
Delicious! My husband wasn't excited when I told him about wanting to try it, since he's not a fan of mint. He loved it! I made a very small version for the 2 of us--1 tomato & 1/2 peach, & didn't have any celery on hand. Might make a larger version with more varieties of tomatoes & the celery for a pot luck which is coming up. Definitely will make again!
Very enjoyable. I cut the tomatoes
