Notes

Yields: This recipe makes ~ 2/3 cups of mint chimichurri sauce that is ideal for 4-6 servings.
Using a food processor: While I chopped the herbs by hand, you can certainly use a food processor if you want to make it quicker.

Storage: You can store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The green color of the chimichurri gets darker as it sits, which is normal.

Freezing: Place it in ice cubes and freeze overnight. Store the frozen cubes in an airtight container in individual portions.
