Receta Simple Chimichurri Sauce

by Michele Tedrick

Chimichurri is a sauce or marinade for grilled meats and vegetables. The main ingredients are parsley, olive oil and a little acid. The sauce can very greatly from recipe to recipe. Personally, I don’t like too much vinegar or acid. Also, I don’t like it too chunky. I’ve experienced both. I’ve landed on this basic Chimichurri sauce that I can always “fancy up” with more garlic, herbs, onions, and anything else I think up if I’m in the mood. Bonus, the flavors are mild enough to be more kid friendly.
