Mint Mojito Dipping Sauce

Hey all!

This message is coming live to you from Destin, Florida, where I am vacationing with my family. I made this recipe last week, and it was pretty quick. Hopefully, the explanation will be too! This sauce is made to go with the Platkes, as an alternative to the applesauce.

The Mojito is probably one of my favorite Cuban cocktails when they are done correctly. The key is using fresh mint!

Since I'd like to get out to the beach as soon as possible, I'm going to go straight to the recipe.

Mint Mojito Dipping Sauce

Ingredients
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 ½ Tbsp white sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Juice of 1 ½ limes
  • 1 pinch salt
Tools

  • 1 food processor or blender
  • Various sized measuring cups
Directions
  1. Place all ingredients into processor or blender and blend on fast speed until mixture is homogenous.
  2. Serve with Platkes!
It's a sweet, yummy, and original take on tradition. Usually, latkes are served with sour cream. Why not add a little spice though?

I'll post later again this week with an amazing, healthy entree. Stay tuned!
