Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce

This recipe was originally published in Food & Wine (one of my favorites) to go along with a pork shoulder with mojo sauce. I decided to use it on the wonderful flank steak I posted a couple of days ago. 


It's also going to be great on cold shrimp.  Fish tacos.  Or even as a salad or cole slaw dressing.

In a blender, puree the jalapeños, garlic, ginger, onion, lime juice and water until smooth. Add the mayonnaise and cilantro and pulse a few times. Season the sauce with salt and serve.
