This was inspired by Trader Joe's Mojito Sauce, but is WAY better, if I do say so myself! Is great as a marinade and/or sauce. I use it to marinate chicken, shrimp, or tofu, serving with a simple avocado/ tomato/ lime relish and some extra sauce on corn tortillas. Read more The sauce is also great on my Cilantro Rice. Enjoy!

This sounds perfect! I have been looking for a mojito sauce ever since I had a cuban chicken sandwich with this on it. Delicious.
