Cilantro mint dipping sauce

 

This sauce is really delicious. It is bright and fresh and slightly spicy. This sauce is sort of like the one you get as an appetizer at Indian restaurants. I served this with naan but it would be great with pita bread or pita chips or along side a spicy curry dish. Feel free to adjust the spice according to your preference.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I used half a lemon)
2 tablespoons water
salt, to taste

Directions:

Combine everything in a food processor and pulse a few times, then turn on until everything is smooth and well combined. Season with salt as necessary and add more water if you would like to change the consistency. Serve with naan.
