Notes

  • Make chimichurri a day in advance if you can.  It gives it even better flavor if allowed to meld together. 
  • Use a blender or food processor or finely chop the parsley and other ingredients with a sharp knife.
  • Serve at room temperature for the best flavor.
  • Add a ½ cup of red bell pepper.
  • Although not found in an authentic recipe, feel free to swap the lemon juice for lime juice.
  • Add a ¼ teaspoon of ground cumin.
