..........you've got to try this!

It's still the summer grilling season, and I found a recipe that you need to try. This is so very simple and makes all the difference. What is it? How about a wasabi dipping sauce? It takes about 10 minutes to make. Here's the recipe:

Wasabi Cream Sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon of cold water
one-half cup of mayonnaise
one-half cup of sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions:
1) Place the wasabi powder in a glass mixing bowl (use glass or another non-reactive material). Add one tablespoon of cold water and stir to form a thick paste (I used one and one-half tablespoon of the wasabi powder and it was just right. Remember, wasabi powder is nothing more than powdered horseradish and it is strong.) After the paste is formed, wait about 5 minutes.
2) Mix the rest of the ingredients, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to use it. It will keep for about one week.

This is a great sauce for use on every kind of meat. It was originally recommended for use on fish; but, I have used it with great results on pork and beef. If you like horseradish, you'll love this sauce. I got it from a great grilling website: http://www.bbqu.net/. This website is a great resource for some wonderful grilling. It's a companion to the ETV television show, Barbecue University. If you try this, let me know what you think.
