Chimichurri

Be the first to review!
Bright, garlicky, and full of fresh herb flavor, chimichurri is a simple no-cook sauce that brings grilled meats, roasted vegetables, potatoes, sandwiches, and marinades to life. Fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a little crushed red pepper come together into a zesty, herby sauce with just the right tang. Letting it rest for a few hours, or overnight, helps all those bold flavors blend beautifully.
