Costa Rican "Pink Sauce"

captainjtsmith

I had someone email for a recipe that is very common in Costa Rica.... Down there if you order fries, shrimp, fish, salad or just about anything... they have this special sauce... which is pretty close to what it is... but here is a recipe I got from a friend in Playa Jaco....

Sweet Onion Quartered 1 ea
Garlic Minced 1 Tbsp
Ketchup 1 cup
Mayo 1 cup
Vegetable Oil 1/2 cup
Ground Black Pepper 1 Tbsp
Paprika 1 Tbsp
Fresh lime Juice 3 Tbsp
Worcestershire Sauce 2 Tbsp
Horseradish 2 Tbsp
Prepared Mustard 1 Tbsp
Fresh Cilantro Chopped- 1 bunch
Presentation
Process all ingredients in a food processor until smooth

enjoy...

I'll give it a shot as well.

How does it compare to something like Lizano Salsa? We love that around here but it's a PITA to get.

Thanks for the recipe.

In my book nothing compares to Lizano.... yes its a PITA to get but well worth it.... I get it from costaricaproducts.com pretty easily.... Pink Sauce is like the "Ranch" of Costa Rica.... but very tasty on everything...

I had a friend send me a dry ice pack of "Trits" last month.... yummy..... for those of you that don't know... its the best icecream cookie sandwich you have ever ate.....

Youy are right about Lizano. I just ordered some more. Thanks for the link, $5 cheaper in total than Amazon for 4 bottles. :thumbsup

Wow - that looks delicious! I love the sound of that blend. Almost like a version of something like "Thousand Island" dressing but with a real kick! Yum~
