"I know there's lots of recipes for this type of sauce but this is my favorite and it's low in fat and calories. I've served this with veggies, as an appetizer, or tossed it with noodles as a main dish (Must sprinkle with plenty of cilantro!!) Recipe courtesy of the Chicago Sun-Times."

YUM!! I made this and used it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and it was wonderful. I added a little bit of dried red chili flakes for heat, and 1 tsp of sugar for a little more sweet. Other than that made exactly as stated and it was just great. Thanks for the post Jude!!
