I made this mojo, or dipping sauce, to go with the wrinkled potatoes I meant to make - at the last minute I realized I couldn't make these (I had the wrong potatoes), so the mojo has gone uneaten. I tasted it, however, and it's quite good - refreshing and flavorful. I'm planning to eat it with some bread, though it would go just as well with fish or boiled potatoes.

Note that I halved the recipe, the original one calls for twice the ingredients.
