Mint sauce serves as an excellent vehicle to introduce health benefits into your diet without compromising on taste.

Ingredients

Serves: 5 Prep Time: 5 minutes and 30 minutes

• ¼ lb fresh mint, stems removed
• 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

How to Make Mint Sauce

Crush the mint leaves with a pestle in a mortar with the sea salt.

Leave for 30 minutes, by which time the salt will have extracted most of the water from the mint.

Add the vinegar and pound again with the pestle. Add more vinegar if a thinner sauce is desired.
