Ginger Scallion Sauce - 1g Carbs, 0g Fiber

From: www.nutritionaction.com - Author: Kate Sherwood in: Healthy Recipes

This Chinese-inspired sauce can transform many foods into distinctive
and delicious dishes.

A little of this pungent sauce (think Asian pesto) goes a long way. Try
it on chicken, seafood, or tofu, or mixed into brown rice or another
whole grain. We spread some over sauteed tofu cubes on lettuce leaves
topped with carrot and cucumber.

Total time to prepare: 15 min

1/4 cup minced ginger
3 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, minced
3 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup cilantro
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup mint, optional
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Put the ginger and scallions in a heatproof bowl.

In a small pan, heat the oil until very hot. Pour over the ginger and scallions, then allow to cool.

Puree the ginger, scallions, oil, and all the other ingredients except
the salt in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Season with up to 1/2 tsp of salt.
