1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 large serrano or jalapeño chili with seeds, minced

    Step 2

    Mexican limes, sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets, are especially good in this recipe because they are sweeter and more fragrant than Persian limes (the more familiar variety). Mexican limes are also referred to as Key limes, which are available at Melissa's (melissas.com; 800-588-0151).
