With honey, mint, and lemon, this salad dressing will brighten up any bowl of greens. It comes together quickly in a ...blender, and we recommend adjusting the amount of honey to suit your taste. We drizzled this versatile dressing over a winter mix of radicchio, fennel, and romaine lettuce for a nutritious and refreshing lunch, or you can even use it as a sauce for fish!
How To Make Mint & Honey Salad Dressing
This refreshing salad dressing is not only delicious and healthy, it’s easy to make too. You’ll need a knife and chopping board, a blender and a jar or bowl to put the dressing in. Gather these items and your ingredients and you’re ready to get started!
Start by cutting half of the fresh mint into thin strips. Then put the remaining mint, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and salt into a blender and blend for only a few seconds. You’ll know it's blended when you see the sauce has a smooth cloudy look. Add the cut mint and mix together.
Chill the sauce for 10 minutes in the fridge and then it’s ready to drizzle on your greens.

Excellent salad dressing. I had extra fresh mint to use up and this was the perfect recipe for me to use. I did not use a blender. Rather, put all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisked until fully blended. Saved on clean up time! Highly recommend this recipe IF you have fresh mint. Suspect it would not be as good with dried mint (but I could be wrong...)
