Instructions

Just combine everything in your food processor and pulse until combined. The chimichurri sauce is supposed to be a little grainy, but feel free to adjust the consistency and texture to your liking. If it's not liquid enough, just add a little more oil. Enjoy! See the usage tips above.

Notes

Recipe makes about 2/3 cup of chimichurri sauce or 8 generous servings (1 1/2 tablespoons per serving).
Use chimichurri sauce as a condiment for any grilled food.
Other way to enjoy it is to add it to cauliflower (or normal) rice to add some flavor to it.
Add it to soups and stews for an extra zesty touch.
Add more oil to it and make it a salad dressing.
Serve it with pasta instead of pesto sauce!
