Mojo Sauce

I’ve tasted many variations of Mojo sauce, but this one is my favorite. Light and fruity, the minced cilantro and garlic add so much flavor. There are similar recipes like this which puree the ingredients together, but being on a sailboat we opted to keep it rough cut.

Tzatziki (Greek Yogurt Sauce)
