Chimichurri Sauce
I usually have leftover grilled chicken or fish in the fridge and am always looking for some type of sauce for topping to make these boring proteins pop. This sauce is one of them. It is so bright and flavorful with just the right amount of heat. It is healthy but complex in flavor so it really changes any dish you top it on. I love the tang the vinegar gives it and the freshness from the herbs. If you aren’t a fan of parsley you can change out the herbs for whichever ones you like- basil, cilantro, mint… the possibilities are endless! Next time you want to spruce up a bland piece of meat or fish, whip up this sauce; I promise it makes everything better!
