Mint Chia Dressing
I LOVE to add fruit to my salads in the Summer. Nectarines, peaches and watermelon are abundant and pair so well with greens – match made in heaven! I created this dressing for those fruit filled salads… I promise it is not overly “minty”, but a great compliment to the sweet fruit! Adding the chia seeds thickens the dressing while giving you a boost of fiber!
Mint Chia Dressing
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup fruity olive oil
- 1/4 Cup lemon juice (about one lemon)
- 1/4 Cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Small garlic cloves
- Zest of one lemon
- Salt & pepper
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender or Cuisinart.
- Blend, blend and blend some more! It takes a bit of time to get the garlic and the chia seeds fully incorporated. When you can’t see lots of whole chia seeds left, it’s done!
- Store in fridge for up to a week!
