Chimichurri Herb Sauce

I felt intimidated by the long name, but this South American staple is actually a very simple, tasty condiment.

You can make it in 5 minutes and put it on anything that goes well with herbs and garlic. I added it to a plate of fully loaded nachos the other day, and it added a lovely zing.

Wishing you a zingy and tasty day today!


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup minced fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp minced hot pepper of your choice (I had a jalapeno)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Mix everything together in a bowl. Serve over any savory dish that could use some extra herby, garlicky, peppery flavor. Store in the fridge for 3 days.

“Unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” – Steve Maraboli

May you let go of any story, belief, or experience that is no longer serving you. The past happened, but you don’t have to keep holding on to it.

May you move forward instead into a brighter future.
