This fresh and zesty chimichurri sauce is a versatile Argentinian condiment made with parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and spices. It’s perfect for drizzling over grilled meats, vegetables, or grain bowls for a burst of bold flavor.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 garlic clove, minced

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (from about 1 bunch, coarse stems removed)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika.
  2. Stir in the finely chopped parsley.
  3. Season to taste and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  4. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and thaw as needed.

Notes

  • Substitute cilantro for parsley or use a mix of both for a variation.
  • Use red wine vinegar for a more traditional version.
  • Great as a marinade, dressing, or sauce for meats, vegetables, grains, and salads.
  • Allow sauce to sit for a few hours for flavors to meld and mellow.
  • Use a mortar and pestle or food processor for a smoother texture if desired.
