Interesting to try since I love mojitos. Did taste a lot like a mojito, but it was a bit bitter to me and lacked color. The apples were the best part of this, crunchy and mojito-flavored. Maybe using firm red and yellow apples (unpeeled to add some color), and combine the lime zest & juice and simple syrup together first before adding to the salad would help. (I omitted the lemon juice.)
I liked this salad quite a bit. I could not find fresh mint in the little market I went to so I infused some dry mint with the simple syrup that I zapped in the nuker. Fresh Cool and Yummy! Thank You:)
Very fresh and clean tasting salad! I substituted agave nectar for the simple syrup and halved the amount of apples. It was very good.
I did my own version: no simple syrup (too much sugar) and a regular salad dressing spice-packet with some olive oil water and lime juice. But the combination of dressing lettuce sour apples cucumber and fresh mint leaves was simple and very refreshing! If you're a fan of sour apples and mint you'll enjoy this salad.
I would substitute frozen limeade concentrate for the limes and simple syrup.
I made this salad for a family gathering and it was a huge hit. My husband isn't a fan but that just means more for me! I will be making this often this summer!
I love this salad. So light and refreshing. I wouldn't change a thing. ??
I literally tasted like a Mojito but I couldn't eat it as a big salad. There isn't a lot of different flavors to want to eat it as a meal. But it is a very nice refreshing side salad.
