My mother would make that mint sauce at times and I loved it!
I'd use it for Mojitos though

I'm crazy for fresh mint. When I make tabouli, I use *way* more mint than
any recipe ever called for. Also in stuffed grape leaves.

Wasn't that always Leila's (The Tabouli Princess) frequent admonition?
That tabouli should be heavier on the parsley and mint than most recipes
call for? That's how I like it too. I haven't made it in a while come to
think of it.....
I miss Leila's posts

Me too! I have all I need to make some, perhaps tonight?
My kids used to call it "sand salad" because they disliked the texture. Feh.

Yes, I recall her saying that many times. I'm probably heavier on mint
that she would be, however. And, God forbid, I sometimes put chickpeas in
