Considered by some to be an invasive garden pest, mint is one of my all-time favorite herbs. Cool and refreshing, with a pungent taste and aroma, what's not to love about this tough-to-kill herb! From cocktails to soups, salads and desserts, mint's signature flavor profile lends itself to a variety of regional cuisines - particularly Middle Eastern, South Asian and Mediterranean. Here are 5 magical mint recipes - and they're gluten free, too!
