Notes
- It is important to refrigerate the sauce at least one hour, the flavor will change dramatically as it sits.
- Do not use olive oil in this recipe, the flavor is not the same.
- The oil will naturally separate, this is expected. Shake before using.
- This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Do not store longer.
- Mint sauce can be mixed with fresh yogurt as a dip or served over meat.
