Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed mint leaves
- Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Boil Sugar and Water: In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Stir occasionally to ensure all the sugar dissolves completely into the water, creating a clear syrup.
- Steep Mint and Lime Zest: Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the packed mint leaves and lime zest to the hot syrup. Allow the mixture to steep for 20 minutes so the flavors infuse thoroughly.
- Strain and Store: After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves and lime zest. Pour the strained dressing into a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
- The dressing can be stored refrigerated for up to one week.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preference for sweetness.
- This dressing pairs beautifully with a variety of fresh fruits such as berries, melons, and citrus segments.
