What's great about it
This is my delicious healthy summer salad of the moment. I wanted something that was vegetarian-friendly and I loved the idea of making a tabouli style salad using a little quinoa and lots of fresh parsley, mint and spinach.

2 cups mint, chopped

20 g pumpkin seeds
20 g almonds or pistachio, chopped
Jewels from 1 fresh seeded pomegranate or a handful of goji berries
