This month's
Spice Rack Challenge is mint. I have my vegetable garden planted and school done for the summer so I
should be able to find a few moments to blog here and there. I have my two favorite mint combinations blogged already, mint/chocolate and mint/lamb so I had to think of what else I like to do with mint. I think mint is wonderful in any fruit salad and
mint and melon are especially good together. Here is my non-recipe for fruit and mint, of course it's simple but I need a baby step right now.
Mint and Melon
- Seed, peel and cube melon
- Chiffonade fresh mint leaves
- Toss with citrus juice and a little zest (I like orange or lime for this)
- Eat
My other mint recipes:
Mint Coconut Milk Ice Cream with Gluten-free Chocolate Cones
Quinoa and Blood Orange Salad
Candy Cane Cocoa
Winter Mint Cookies
DB Lavash Crackers w/ Moroccan Carrot Dip
Heartnut and Wild Rice Salad
Cherry Tomato and Mint Salad on Lamb Steaks

I love mint too! My breakfast this morning was mint and cantaloupe. I'll have to try it with honeydew. I know it's great with watermelon. I posted a rhubarb mint sorbet a couple of weeks ago. You'd probably love it. Thanks for sharing the other recipes with mint. I'll have to try them.
It might be simple and a "non-recipe", but it sounds delicious. Would make a great breakfast topped with a little honeyed Greek yogurt as well :)
What a refreshing way to eat mint! for my Spice Rack Challenge entry, I went with a Mojito..... very nice, but probably not as healthy as your fruit!
Sounds yummy! I've made fruit salad with mint simple syrup before, but I'm thinking your simpler version sounds better (and less tooth-achingly sweet!).
Hi :) This is Angie (lydwin's wife) We just happened to stumble across a comment you made on another blog by chance, and then found your blog! amazing! You can imagine his shock and happiness in seeing you! Something my sister and I like to eat is mint chutney with samosas.
