Fresh Mint and/or Basil Dressing

My sister discovered this delicious recipe while trying to figure out what to do with her abundant Mint crop growing in her yard.  This has such a fresh taste, you will love it!  As noted in the recipe below, I have also made this same recipe using basil leaves or a combination of basil and mint and that is delicious as well!
This works well on salads, protein vegetable bowls, and street tacos.

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • ¼ cup packed fresh mint OR Basil leaves 
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 10 twists of freshly ground black pepper
-NOTE:  I have doubled the amount of mint/basil leaves in the recipe and love that as well if you like a stronger herb flavor.  It is also really delicious to do a combination of Mint AND Basil together!
