Cilantro-Ginger-Garlic "Aioli" Sauce

Cilantro-Ginger-Garlic "Aioli" Sauce
 
This is my version of a dipping sauce from one of my favorite restaurants where it is paired with fried yucca.  I call it a cheat "aioli" because instead of emulsifying it myself, I just add prepared mayo.  It is absolutely to die for!  Excellent with chicken or on burgers with arugula. 
 
Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems and all
1 - 2" chunk fresh ginger
4 large cloves garlic
1 T soy sauce
1 T rice vinegar
1 lime, juiced
1/3 cup mayo
 
Directions: Process cilantro, ginger, and garlic in food processor until it is all broken down.  Add remaining ingredients until smooth.  Adjust mayo to desired consistency.
 
Notes: Leftover sauce makes an excellent salad dressing.  Add extra olive oil and rice vinegar to thin the sauce into a pourable dressing!
