Cilantro Mint Sauce

A good, simple sauce can make many a dish.  Try this with vegetarian dishes, to liven up the presentation, or with most any grilled meat or fish.
2 cloves garlic
1 palmful mint leaves
2 palmfuls cilantro leaves
juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup plain Greek non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup good, real mayonnaise
1 Tbsp prepared wasabe

Pulse the garlic in a small food processor. Add the herbs and pulse to chop coarsely. Add the remaining ingredients and blend to form a smooth cream.

Makes about 1 cup sauce.

Cook's Note:  We had a sauce akin to this at Buckley's Tavern, in Greenville DE.  It came with their fried calimari and we continued asking for it with their fish tacos.  We loved it.  It definitely works for fish, but we also found, at home, that it is especially fantastic for vegetarian dishes, and is great for grilled meats as well.  Explore.
