Key Lime Mustard Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbs. dry mustard
  • 2 tbs. chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbs chopped parsley
  • Pinch green Tabasco
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Juice from 4 key limes

Mix all ingredients well.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

*Arugula is a spicy little leaf, which some describe as bitter and others characterize as having a "peppery-mustardy" flavor. Because it is so potent on its own, it is often mixed with milder greens to produce a nice balanced salad. It can also be sautéed in olive oil. You can substitute most any green for arugula, but the closest matches are Belgian endive, escarole, and dandelion greens.

I generally find arugula in a package in the organics section at my grocery.  If you can't find it, I would substitute spinach.
