- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Add the chopped mint leaves to the mixture and stir well to combine.
Season the dressing with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and mix until the desired consistency is achieved.
