Vegetables, salads & fresh herbs
Fresh mint offers an intense, refreshing flavour, varying from peppery-sharp to sweet-mild depending on the variety. It's commonly used in salads, especially in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, as well as in drinks like Mojitos and teas. Desserts and sweet dishes also benefit from its invigorating note.
In these recipes, fresh mint is frequently used in salads such as couscous, bulgur, lentil, or cauliflower rice salad, where it's combined with ingredients like salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper. This highlights its role as a fresh, aromatic component in savoury dishes. However, it also appears in sweet contexts like strawberry slices or drinks like Mojitos, demonstrating its versatility.
