Food Spotlight: Mint

Mint is growing like wild here in Eastern PA. For anyone who grows it, they’ll tell you it’s a bit unruly in that it just grows and grows and grows.

Mint is a close relative of spearmint and peppermint. It is great for digestion as it helps calm those internal nerves. (For more information on eating to beat stress, click here) It also is a great breathe freshener and wakes up the senses.

Lemon Mint Salad Dressing Recipe

It’s salad season, which means it’s time for dressing up! This recipe tastes great over some arugula mixed with spring mix. Check this Wednesday’s post for more info on arugula.

I recently had this amazing Lemon Mint dressing in Lancaster, PA. If you are ever there, go to Prince’s Cafe. They have great local food. I believe it is the local yogurt that is the secret ingredient in this dressing.

I loved the dressing so much I asked for the recipe and being the friendly place Lancaster is, they gave it to me.
