    Recipe notes

    Salad with mint ingredients

    Mint leaves: the star of the show in this salad is the fresh mint flavor that pairs so well with with roasted peppers, feta and the honey mustard dressing. Added bonus? Mint provides also several .

    Chickpeas: inexpensive and packed with protein, chickpeas make a perfect base for this salad, but white beans or lentils work just fine instead of chickpeas.

    Peppers: I love the hint of char they add to the salad. You can use chargrilled or oven-roasted peppers, they’re totally delicious and perfect for this recipe. I used convenient jarred peppers this time, great for quick recipes. And if you have pepper leftovers, have a look at this !

    Cucumber: it’s essential for a crisp, fresh crunch and goes well with peppers and feta.

    Feta: it adds extra salty flavor, but you can skip the cheese if you prefer to keep it vegan or dairy free.

    Mint salad dressing

    For the dressing, I combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and I make sure to whisk them until well combined and emulsified. Alternatively, you can place them in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.

    Note: taste the salad before serving and adjust until you get a balance of flavors you love. You might need a squeeze of lemon or an extra pinch of salt and pepper.
