- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 green chili
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint and cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the fresh ginger and cut it into smaller pieces to facilitate easier blending.
Slice the green chili in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, ginger pieces, green chili, raw honey, cumin powder, and sea salt.
Add the water to the blender or food processor to help achieve the desired consistency.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and sauce-like consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or honey to your preference if necessary.
Transfer the finished Paleo Indian Mint Sauce to a serving bowl or an airtight container if storing for later use.
Serve the mint sauce immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. Enjoy this Paleo-friendly condiment as a zesty accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
