Recipe Riffs

This Chimmichurri sauce recipe is delicious and can be prepared quickly and ahead of time.

The immersion blender is the favorite go-to tool when preparing Chimmichurri. Using the measuring cup that comes along with the blender is the best way to blend together all of the ingredients. If you do not have the measuring cup, feel free to use a small/medium size bowl or two-cup Pyrex measuring cup.

One other thing that I wanted to throw out there is substituting the Lemon Juice with Vinegar. Authentic Argentinian Chimmichurri recipes typically use Vinegar, so feel free to try it out either way. We like to switch between the two depending on the type of protein we choose to pair with the Chimmichurri. Whatever you choose to do this sauce never disappoints!
