I love choc mint, it’s a child hood favourite of mine. Whether it be in mint choc chip ice cream or a mint slice, or after dinner mints it’s always been a favourite combination of mine.
MISO AND SESAME CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH CUCUMBER AND MINT SALAD
These skewers are easy to throw together and make a delicious weeknight meal. They’re also great on the barbecue or at even cold at a picnic! Which seems super appropriate seeing as it’s Cup day and those are two things that hopefully someone is doing today! But anyway, I love the salty unaminess (making up words again) of them against the cool and refreshing salad.
POMEGRANATE, MINT AND ROSE SPRITZ
I’m a big fan of sparkling water. It’s the way I get bubbles into my life these days seeing as I’m not a fan of soft drink. You can add so many different fresh real flavours to it to make it feel like more of a treat and this mocktail is oh so fancy. It can even be made into an indulgent cocktail.
CHOC MINT COOKIES
These are freakin’ delicious. Like, ridiculous. I almost made myself sick because I couldn’t stop eating them. Could have also been because I licked some of the drizzled chocolate off the board…hmmm. Plus they are gluten free, dairy free and lower in sugar than the cookie they’re impersonating.
PEA AND ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH MOZZARELLA
This salad is fresh and delicious, the perfect thing to accompany a summer barbecue. The ribbons of zucchini curl around the juicy peas, and the sharp vinaigrette balances the creamy mozzarella and sweet peas perfectly.
MISO AND MINT BROAD BEAN TOAST
Broad beans are delicious, and if you’re screwing up your face right now maybe you just haven’t eaten fresh, double podded broad beans before? Because if you haven’t you are missing out on some serious yum. Plus things on toast are great. Thus this recipe has two great things going for it.
NASTURTIUM, MINT, GRAPEFRUIT AND POACHED CHICKEN SALAD
This salad is fresh and zingy and full of contrasting textures – everything I like in a salad. And it’s basically fresh and zingy salad time now as the weekends have really been turning it on lately. Spring is here, like really here. Well for today anyway, if I get too excited about all this sun Melbourne will go and take it away again.
